Sometimes an egg is just going to be a bitch and stick to the shell, but this method works 95% of the time for me.

Tap it on a hard surface all around and then roll the eggs under your hand until you can start to feel the shell and membrane inside separate from the whites. Then it should all just peel off in big chunks.

You're welcome.

>>12391195
so boil for ten minutes, not bring up to a boil and simmer?
>>12391197
Thank you

>>12391186
How YOU doing?

>>12391176
I usually just put them in boiling water (like really boiling) for 10 minutes, rinse with cold water for a few minutes and they turn out fine. Just crack the egg on the countertop, roll it lightly under your palm and start peeling.

steam the eggs instead of boiling them.
works well if you have a steamer rack for your rice cooker or instapot

comes out perfect every time. youre welcome

>>12391208
>so boil for ten minutes, not bring up to a boil and simmer?
Yes, bring up to a boil and continue to boil. Just be careful about the size of the pot you're using as it's possible to have some eggs crack if there's too much room for them to move around.

>>12391176
>peeling
Use old eggs. 2 weeks minimum. The membranes starts to adhere to the shell, not the white.
The sweet spot seems to be 1 month. 1 month old eggs peel in three thumb-grabs.
>cooking
place one layer of eggs on the bottom of a pot
cover with 1" of COLD water over the eggs
put on stove, cover.
heat to med-high, bring to just below rolling boil
remove from heat
let sit 8 minutes
put pot in the sink fill it with cold water
peel the eggs half-submerged, they come right off if your eggs are old
enjoy

OLD
EGGS

That's the key. Forget lemon/vinegar, that is mostly to keep the whites in when they break.

Final secret: I use medium eggs to obtain pic related. No green on the yolks, just slightly tacky on the inside. Perfect along or for egg salad.

>>12391266
Good to know...I'll try this. Thanks mate.

>>12391278
>COLD water over the eggs
I do this, but have never understood if it makes any difference. Obviously I'm not going to pour boiling water directly over cold eggs, but intuitively it seems like they're going to get heated pretty much the same whether you start with cold water or warm water. Yeah, it's more gradual if you start with cold, but how much of a difference does it really make?

you need to loosen that apron up there
and do some squats
and cardio

>>12391278
It's about the timing. I'm near sea-level so that counts too.
So if you use a med-high heat to heat 60F water and 40F eggs to boiling, then shut off and sit for 8 minutes, that is the correct amount of time.
Starting cold prevents breakage and splashing of hot water.
Also doesn't cook the outside leaving the inside raw.

>>12391691
If you boil your eggs for 10 minutes, you're going to have green coating on your yolks.
That green is iron sulfide.
>>12391278
follow this

>>12391723
>>12391781
Meant to reply to this.

>>12391176
Stop calling it hard boiled because there should be zero boiling of the egg.

Boil water, remove from heat, add eggs, cover, set timer for 12 minutes, uncovering pan when timer goes off, place eggs in cold water. Wait a few minutes and peel.

>>12391176
I only cook soft boiled, but you just adjust for time.
Up to a pinky nail amount of water in a pot. Heat to a boil. Drop to medium heat, add eggs, cover and let them steam for 8 to 9 minutes. Wa la

>>12391197
This, I crack an equator around the shell and pull apart two hemispheres. Also salt the water and dont't put eggs in until boiling.

>>12391792
>if you boil your eggs for 10 minutes, you're going to have green coating on your yolks
This is false. If you have green yolks you're not cooling down the eggs fast enough, which is how you stop the cooking process.

>>12391867
Yo’ll still have stinky sulfury rubber eggs.

>>12391875
I cook professionally and boil a dozen eggs pretty much every day like this and they always turn out perfect. If your eggs turn out green or rubbery it's on your end. I'm not saying there aren't many different ways to make a hard boiled egg, and you should do whatever works for you. The thing is that my method is more universal because it doesn't depend on a ton of other factors, aside form maybe really high altitude.

>>12391891
Then your restaurant sucks. You don’t boil eggs.

>>12391927
You're an idiot and don't understand how restaurants work. The way you do things doesn't convert to a larger scale, but if it works for you that's fine. It doesn't make it better.

>>12391875
Your butt stinks!

>>12391176
>being naked in the kitchen is fucking gross
I like to put the eggs in water
Bring it to a boil
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes
Move the eggs to an ice bath
After a few seconds, I crack the shell and put it back into the icy water
After about 5 minutes or so, I peel the egg

Sometimes I will poke the bottom of the egg with a thumbtack, I saw it on a mommy blog and sometimes that helps with new eggs. You'll probably get that one egg that bubbles out of hole. It's still edible, just makes for an ugly egg.

>>12391176
>poke hole in the shell
>microwave for 3.5 - 4 minutes
>enjoy egg.

anything more complicated is just a waste of time.

>>12391891
I was the guy with the 8-minute rest method.
I don't disagree with you, then. If you are reaching non sulfide eggs with your method, then your method is right for you.
Mine gives me a pleasing yellow yolk with a lot more time variability between drier (good for egg salad) and wetter (better on its own) yolk. I think this helps us amateurs tune easier.
You are multi-tasking to beat the band if you're a pro, so you have your method down with a quick cool to stop the cooking process.
Both of our methods are accomplishing the same things.
Good luck in your profession, if you have your eggs down then you are worrying about other more important things.

>>12392034
>>12391891
these eggs are meme eggs from a $230 pan troll

>>12392013
I've done this but I haven't perfected it yet. There is too little time between dry and moist yolks in the microwave for me to have mastered it yet.

>>12392034
>both of our methods are accomplishing the same things
>good luck in your profession, if you have your eggs down then you are worrying about other more important things
Um, yeah, that's kind of what I was saying. For a long time I did a version of how you do it, but I like to recommend the method I suggested because I can walk into any kitchen and it's foolproof. You're completely correct about not having to worry over shit like boiled eggs, though. I get a little annoyed when people criticize shit that we do in a restaurant kitchen and insist that their home method is superior. Like, we do this every day and have tried every possible variation to see what works best, and 90% of our cooks have worked at a dozen other places and picked up what hundreds of other cooks do that works out better than what they were taught. Then again, not everything that works in a restaurant kitchen translates to a home kitchen, but it's my day off and I'm drunk.

>>12391950
I absolutely do. My small scale eggs will always taste better that the cafeteria style, 30 dozen case put in a giant pot and cooked for twenty minutes. As you said it doesn’t convert to larger scale, therefore your end product is inferior.

>>12391952
As it should, but eggs shouldn’t...

People who haven't taken an entry level logic course shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion, let alone vote. Everything is just noise at this point.

Hard boiled eggs have a iron ring threshold.

8 Minutes on a soft boil and then dunked into water will give perfect HB egg. Or you can just bring the water to a hard boil and turn off the heat right away and let the water sit until room temp.

Adjusting the time for lower the 8 minute mark per minute will give you a range from gross runny yolk and some white to custard almost. It's up to you. But it all needs to be chilled right away.

To not get them to stick, you need to let them sit over night in the fridge, and then lightly cracked around and roll it a bit on a surface lightly. Should come right off.

inch of water over eggs, bring to boil, cover, turn off heat, 12 min later put eggs in icebath

literally negative ass, not even worth a passing sniff

>>12391176
i boil, drain hot water, poor cold water, add ice, toss in freezer for 2 min. crack each egg, dunk them in water to fill in between. grab spoon and scoop em out.

with my way, a perfectly peeled egg is 70% certain.

>>12393338
Why are you staring at a man's ass? What are you, gay?

>>12391176
instant pot. they're super easy to peel afterwards

Someone who needs a logic course to use logic.... liberal arts fag detected

>>12393703
90% of the population has no grasp on basic logic. It should be a required course in high school. Much more useful than shit like biology that almost nobody needs or remembers.

>>12391176
Cut them in half lengthwise
Spoon them out

>>12391176
Boil them in water.
Put them in cold water afterwards, let the tap run for a few minutes so the heat transfers and the water stays cold.
Wait a few minutes.
Peels easily.

Either that or wait for your eggs to be about a month old, it makes the peeling easier.

That dudes got a nice ass.

>>12395537
you have to go back

>>12391176
You dont need old eggs. You dont need anything in the water. Start with rolling water, turn it off while you put the eggs in then turn it back on. Cook for 7 mins to 14 depending on what you want. Runny/firm. Place in ice water when done.

It's really that easy...

>>12391197
This is a protip as well

>>12391176
1. Water, salt, splash of olive oil to help with peeling.
2. Roiling boil
3. Add eggs using a spoon to set them in
4. wait seven minutes
5. remove from heat, cover for 10 - 12 minutes
6. ???
7. profit

Works perfectly every time.

Objectively the best way to peel an egg.
I used to struggle with it then my mother in law showed me this and it's been super easy ever since.
