Having trouble removing egg shell. Shell sticks to egg. Suggestions?

@edro3838

Put eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, cover remove from heat and let sit for 12 min. Pour off water, shake/crack shell a bit in pan, run cold water over eggs put in ice bath. Let sit for 4-5 min, remove and roll them gently on countertop to crack shell, peel under running water for best results. Eggs that are a couple weeks old work best for hard boiling.

One other thing is to make sure you are peeling the membrane off along with the shell, rather than just the shell.

Best advice on this I've had is use older eggs

As another commenter said, don't use eggs that are too fresh. We've been so committed to getting fresh foods in the recent years, we sometimes forget that fresh isn't always best. Hard boiled eggs is one of those times. Another trick some people have suggested is poking a hole in the shell with a thumb tack before boiling. Yes, this works. Essentially, you're poaching the egg in the shell. However, you are compromising the shell, and therefore negating one of the best features of the hard boiled egg -- room temperature stability. So you can't use those "poked" eggs at a picnic, in a packed lunch, or on a road trip. They must be refrigerated, and they'll keep 2-3 days max. But if you're boiling eggs in the morning to use in the afternoon, go for it. Easy fix. My best advice, honestly? Experiment with different producers. This was not a problem 20 years ago. Now it's an epidemic. Like milk, modern advances in product stability have come with some unfortunate side effects. There are some "brand" eggs that I've noticed will NEVER separate from their membranes, no matter what you do. Try some different brands, and make notes. If you make a lot of boiled eggs, it might even be worth your while to find a local producer on the way back from your supermarket, and add an "egg stop" to your shopping. EDIT: And yes, as the first reply is telling you, the eggs must be COLD when you peel them. And yeah, peeling under cold running water will help with stubborn eggs. Lift as much of the shell as you safely can, then run your thumb under the edge, separating the membrane from the egg white. The membrane is the important part.

Salt cold water boil cook as desired rinse cold water put in bowl of ice water, cool. Then crack shell at round side and peel under cold water removing membrane. Once you get it it’s really easy.

I've been cooking professionally 45 years, an executive chef for 30 years, and a culinary instructor for 20 years. Jacques Pepin is the epitome of professionalism and culinary excellence.

He sadly flunked the carrot puree too, it was another wet mess because he didn't drain off any water before blending. Bit slapdash, this episode!

Is anyone else really impressed with his casual display of some serious knife skills?

That metal fork scraping against the Teflon is brutal.

Man, I am INSPIRED by how sharp his knives are, lol. I just paid to get 6 of mine sharpened, and it was heaven...for a while, lol. I need to re-learn how to use a proper stone.

OMG scraping that fork on the non-stick surface runs shivers down my spine! wth!

My neighbor has a lot of chickens farm fresh eggs are soo much better. Can't wait to try a couple of these recipes with them .😋

i clapped when he flipped the french omelette, what a master

I always like to add cream cheese to my scrambled eggs. Also, be careful. If the eggs look done, they are overcooked.

As soon as he cut into the soft boiled eggs of first dish I let out an audible moan…. In my office. Whoops. 😅

He’s amazing. Every time.

Wow... so I made the Mollet eggs florentine last night... absolutely delicious!! I am not what I would call a great cook- but I did follow everything he said, from the method of cooking the eggs- making the sauce... etc. It was amazing, and really not hard. I love the way he encourages people to cook and he really details the things that make the food turn out just perfectly. I love these videos.

A work of art!

Genius. But easy to follow because he's an excellent instructor.

There's nothing like the good old french cuisine!

Its so fuckin badass the way hes scraping that non stick pan with a knife. He can do whatever he wants and he knows.

Only salt and pepper. Never seen such great results with so much simplified cooking; and he sounds like a personal chef of GOD!

Absolutely amazing 🍳 Thank you Jacques

Watching Jacques cook food and eat it with one of his homies is very satisfying.

I love that he says "if I had to choose one food" and then immediately says two things without even noticing. That's a man who loves food.

" yea i know you love gruyère" *steals a cheeky look* Oh my

Holy shit! That part where you put in raw egg to help stop the cooking is genius!

If anyone had a right to be a little pretentious it would be Pepin. He's an absolute legend. However he's probably the least snooty chef of his generation. "The French style is not better than the other style, it's just different." Most French chefs wouldn't say this, although he is absolutely correct. They're both delicious omelets.
