I have a tip for eggs. I have a degree in Home Economics. I was taught to never boil eggs. They are called hard cooked and not boiled. Cover your eggs and bring to a boil, cover with lid, and turn off heat. Leave for 16 minutes. No green ring around yolk. Some peel okay and others don't.

Run cold water over them after cooked. I was also taught this. Same degree,retired. Nice to meet you.
It is hard to get that message across!!! and stick.

Cool Shirlene will have to give it a try. Also interesting is that free range eggs are better for you. I buy mine locally and they taste much better than store.

I too have always "iced" my eggs (no pun intended):) But why blow germs from your mouth on eggs you are going to serve to others?

Wow, that was so cool!!! I don`t know about blowing my germs all over the egg though... I usually roll the egg on the bench top and it all comes off.

I usually peel mine under running cold water, I'm like the others U wouldn't want your germs on egg & blowing on them is going to put a lot on it. Everyone knows we r all germy. LOL *

that was pretty cool, I must admit I've been known since my boys were little as the lady whose egss wouldn't peel. It really doesn't matter what trick I try they NEVER peel for me, so I usually only make em when I make potato salad, that way they are all chopped up anyway.

Cool! I have to try the baking soda in the cooling water, because my eggs always stick like glue to the shells, so did my mother's. Maybe egg-peeling is genetically inherited? Hee hee hee. With my luck, I'd blow the egg out and the dog would catch it! Very entertaining! Marji

I also was a Home Ec. major, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I only had the basic food courses as I was more interested in Textiles and Clothing. This whole egg thing prompted me to open my old college cookbook. It requires removing all the rubber bands first as it is in pieces and have even tried to duck tape the backs. We have already agreed to bring to boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand for 15 min. Now , my book next step is pour off hot water, cool promptly in cold water ( I even add a handful of ice cubes). Crackle the shell. Roll egg between hands to loosen the shell and start the peeling at the large end of egg ( my instructor said this is the secret of success) Dipping the egg in a bowl of cold water or holding egg under running cold water help to ease the shell off. Now is this more than you ever wanted to know!!! Love you, Kay

How interesting, don't know whether I would try it though, the egg would most likely end up on the floor
