Supermarkets today probably have better supply chain and operational logistics than in the 90s, so we are more likely to encounter a box of very fresh eggs, which are harder to peel than slightly aged eggs, assuming same cooking methods and all. You can always start going through the box with sunny side up and eggs benedict, and finish the week with some marinated eggs

You saved the day again

Pouring the boiling water is genius! Instead, what I've been doing is boiling the eggs in a pasta cooker that has a nesting colander. I put the main pot and colander together to cover the eggs with enough water, then separate the pot and colander leaving the eggs in the colander, bring the water in the main pot, and add the eggs in the colander to the pot once the water is at a rolling boil. Once it's boiled for about a minute, I put it aside for however long I need to get whatever stage of boiled eggs, pull out the whole colander and change the water in the pot to cold water. If it's a smaller batch of eggs, I use a scoop colander to place the eggs in the boiling water instead.

While the eggs are being boiled. Take the egg out, crack it with a spoon, put egg back in to cook another minute or two. Egg shell and membrane will be easier to get off now the water is leaking into the shell.

Being a magician. I’m great at peeling eggs without all of this process. I’ve got so much time on my hands. I will post soon. Although her way Clearly works.

I love the texture and taste of soft boiled eggs but I gave up on making them years ago... I bought a pack of those cheap little silicone 'cups' to make poached eggs in. I can make breakfast for 5 or 6 people really quickly, and the garlic butter toast is ready by the time the eggs are done. I live happily with that compromise... I don't plan on making soft boiled eggs ever again. I'm posting this so others might consider this as an alternative.

@workdaygourmet

I make poached eggs far more often too. Soft boiled is like 90% for marinating and 10% for picnic/road trip where I want something portable. If you're home and just want plain egg for a salad or toast, poached or fried would be a lot faster and easier.

Peeling quail eggs is harder bc the membrane is much thicker. Roll the egg under light pressure so the shell is cracking all around it. Use the handle of a teaspoon and use it to remove the shell by slightly moving it under the membrane around the shells "equator". Once done you should be able to remove the top and the bottom shell from the egg. That method is working for chicken eggs too…

You're #1.

Are there any ways to use the marinade afterwards to save it from being just thrown away?

I just cook them a hard boil state. For peeling. I just use the pot and shake the eggs. The peel just comes off after the shake.

After boiling them, just at a half inch of water, or put them in a container with a half inch of water, put on a lid, and shake for 5 seconds, then the shells are basically all off 🙂

The only predictor of good peeling is the thermal shock. Dump you eggs in boiling water, don't put them in the water before it boils. Also dump them in cold water at the end. The you can pop the shell like a peanut pod.

These all seem to end up with cold eggs. If you like your eggs cold, this is perfect.

If you warm eggs slightly before exposing them to boiling water, they almost never crack.

In some ramen shops they have a device with a small needle that they pinch the butt of the egg with it's only air so the egg doesn't leak. Once you cook it and icebath it, the water can go neatly between the egg and the shell or membrane. I need to procure myself one of those. I think.

The older egg trick is not bad, but I have used fresh eggs that peeled quite easily by cooking as described in the video. Start with boiling water, then a quick cooldown.

I suggest; EXPERIMENT. It depends on size, for example the "M" size, aka ~55gram (2ounces or so), it takes 5-6minutes. I think 7 is too much, it it depends on your boiling water temperature, therefore on your altitude (no kidding), and EXACT time, do not relly on minutes, use seconds, as 7:59 is way different than 6:01 and both could be noted as "7mins" if you see only hh;mm on your watch, you might destroy few eggs, but once you have your specific recipe/needs, you will keep it forever. It very much depensd on egg itself, not the age, I have egg supplier, where few days old (like 2-3days old) egg is easy to peel even only 4:30 minute boiling only, and then have old egg (month old) from different source, where I could not peel it and had to toss 2/3 of the egg, same cooking time (they were in the same batch), same size. Eggs are not science, it is alchemy :-)

Easy. Stop worrying about it looking "perfect" and just eat it warm. They do not taste good reheated or cold. Cooling the eggs that way completely spoils any enjoyment of the egg. Remember: you don't taste with your eyes, your mouth can't see, & it all looks the same when it comes out the other side anyway. So eat it warm right away & enjoy it, even if it isn't perfectly smooth, taste is what counts as perfection.

If you feel that the egg must be perfectly smooth to be enjoyed then why do you care what the temperature is? If smoothness is all that matters to you there should be no problem, refrigerate your egg & eat the cold perfectly smooth egg. If however you enjoy a warm egg, then you should eat it right away. Maybe not being perfectly smooth doesn't matter just the flavor & texture of a fresh cooked egg. Edit: The person to whom this comment is directed is claiming that I "harassed" them.

After you've peeled them, drop them into hot water to warm them up. That's what restaurants do.

I peel my eggs with one hand! Put eggs in boiling water, after 2-3 mins take eggs from pot and drop them on work top just to break the shell, place back in pot to boil. When cooked place them in a basin of cold water then one hand take egg and gently tap egg all over on worktop and roll & massage under the cold water so water gets in behind the shell, remove your hand from water and roll in hand and shell just falls off. Works every time.

You don't know why eggs stick to the shell, do you? Just use older eggs. Boil two eggs that are close to the expiration date and two eggs that are brand new from the market. Peel both, you will find the old eggs peel easy and really new eggs will stick no matter what you do. It's that simple. Stop lying for clicks.
