August 12, 2011Perfectly Peel Boiled Eggs (video tip)

 

After I mastered hard-boiled eggs, I tackled peeling them perfectly. I used to have trouble with getting the peel to consistently release until I learned to chill the eggs in an ice bath right after cooking.   That helps to release the shell.

However, the chill factor was not enough. If you crack and roll the shell, then it will peel off quite easily. That’s a little tip from Cook’s Illustrated’s The New Best Recipes (2004). Works like a charm.

For clarification, here’s a quick video on peeling hard-boiled eggs . . .

If you have a tried-and-true method, let us all know.
