How Do You Peel Boiled Eggs Without A Mess?
Peeling boiled eggs. After boiling the desired amount of eggs, peeling is often the most dreaded part. The first consideration is that eggs to be boiled need to be not first day fresh. I always boil the ones I have had on hand the longest. That will ensure a good peel. The eggs should always be started in cold water and brought to a slow simmer, no real boiling for about 8-10 min. Next drain off the hot water, place ice and cold water on the eggs and cool to easy touching temperature. Next remove eggs from cold water, place on a paper or clean cloth towel. Roll each egg like making a playdough snake, just pressing gently to crack the entire egg evenly but not SMASHED!!! Then drop back into the cold water, let it fill under the egg shell through all the cracks you just made. EASY EASY. Cold fresh boiled eggs for sandwiches etc. After eggs are peeled and rinsed in the cold water, just place them in the plastic bag or covered bowl or storage box. Make sure the family knows they are there
