I just know the fresher the egg the better it will peel.

I’ve heard of putting a little oil, vinegar, and salt to make them easy to peel. Thing that works best for me is not letting them sit long before peeling seems like the more they dry the harder they peel.

I hit them with ice after boiling. And it has been my experience that the less fresh they are, the easier they are to peel.

I was thinking about trying Egglettes but the reviews are bad. Dang.

30 minutes, 350, put them in a muffin tin, one per hole. If your oven runs hot it might take less time. Out of the oven straight into an ice-water bath for 30 minutes and they peel pretty easily. I do a dozen at a time.

It is also my experience that fresh eggs are harder to peel.

I just finished eating a mess of hard boiled eggs from my kids easter baskets. first few days the peeled pretty easy. About a week/week and a half in I would rather eat the shell than try to get it off. Maybe it makes a difference that they were dyed.

That jar trick works good for peeling garlic, too, without the water though. Toss the whole head in there and shake it until most of the cloves are loose. Dump it out and discard the big pieces of husk. Put the loose cloves back in and shake it some more and it will pretty much skin the cloves.

edited to add: I use a quart-size "square" pasta sauce jar for garlic and it works great.

Add a tablespoon of baking soda to the water...helps them peel much easier

Yep, that jar with water is sure easy. Something learned for this old fart.

I’ll have to try that. I always just tap it with my fist and peel the outside.

I have learned that steaming for 12 minutes instead of boiling then into ice water bath and they peel very easy! Got to try the jar trick
