Wait till it cools down

[seascott]

It even happens when I take them in my pack lunch and were boiled hours earlier!!!

yeah this question often gets asked, i'm pretty sure there was a good thread on this a while back

Problem is your not boiling them long enough.

I worked in a catering job while I was a student, where large quantities of eggs were frequently boiled, and had to be peeled for club sandwiches etc. The secret? Add salt to the water.

I've found that it happens when I've left them in the shell too long, like to take to work. Cool them down in cold water as soon as they're done and peel them then.

Also, I think super fresh eggs tend to do it more too.

yeah i put them in cold water and peel them almost immediately, doesnt always do the trick. I've heard of the salt trick before but never tried it.

You peel your eggs before you eat them??? Hmmmh

[severe]

I peel them while still hot.

Ronin, do you bother chewing?

repped.

I add eggs to cold water and add salt. The salt makes the shell come off easier when cooked. When the water starts to boil I start the timer and let them boil for 3 minutes. Comes out just right.

[seascott]

All sorted guys.

Added salt and boiled them a little longer, all 6 of them came out great.

Thanks for the tips. :clap:

[Mr_Krabs]

It wont taste great but if you soak them in vinegar for a few hours you dont need to peel them just eat them shell and all :pfft:

As a great party trick, soak the eggs in vinegar to soften the shell, then squeeze it into a narrow-necked bottle like a wine bottle. Rinse with water to harden the shell, then amaze your guests with how you got the egg in there.

I've never tried this, so it may not be 100% fact. It may not be 100% great party trick, either.
