I boil eggs so that the shells easily separate on their own - you will also like this method
One day I had to peel two dozen boiled eggs. It would seem that what is so difficult about this? But that time something went wrong - the shell stubbornly did not separate from the protein, as if it had been glued with superglue. After suffering for almost an hour, I decided at all costs to find a way that would allow me to peel eggs with one movement of my hand. And, as it turned out later, there really is such a method, and it consists of two simple steps.
Step 1. Proper cooking
As a child, I was taught to boil eggs like this:
- Place them in a saucepan.
- Pour in cold water with a little salt.
- Place the saucepan on the fire and wait 8 minutes from the moment the water boils.
However, from the point of view of physics, such a cooking process leads to the fact that the protein heats up and thickens very slowly, having time to tightly stick to the shell. Now I do it differently - first I bring the water to a boil and only then lower the eggs into it. Contrary to popular belief, this does not cause them to burst. And in general, only those whose shells were initially damaged become covered with cracks. Tiny chips and cracks are invisible to the eye, and during cooking, when the white and yolk expand, the shell “comes apart at the seams” in these very places.
Some housewives recommend adding soda to the water in addition to salt. I do not share their point of view, because if the shell does burst, the protein will acquire an unpleasant taste and will have to be thrown away.Plus, baking soda doesn't make peeling eggs any easier.
Step 2: Temperature Contrast
Many people have heard that immediately after boiling eggs they need to be placed under cold running water or placed in a container filled with water and ice. But for some reason they ignore this option, considering it ineffective. In reality, it works like this: during cooking, the contents of the egg heat up and expand, pressing tightly against the shell, and when cooled sharply, they shrink, separating from the shell. An air space is formed between the white and the shell, making the egg clean almost instantly.
Please note that there is an exception to this rule: fresh eggs laid 1-2 days ago will not peel well, even if you pour cold water on them immediately after boiling. Therefore, for cooking, I use eggs that are a week or even two weeks old, provided that they were stored in the refrigerator.
Questions and answers
What to do if the shell still doesn’t clean well?
Try removing it while holding the egg under running cold water.
Sometimes housewives pierce the blunt end before cooking. Does this help peel the shells without damaging the squirrels?
No. This is done to release air from the air chamber. As a result, the protein turns out to be ideally shaped, and not flattened at one end.
How to boil freshly laid eggs?
If you need them for a salad or other “sliced” dish, simply break them into a cooking sleeve, previously greased with oil, and cook them that way.
Even though boiling eggs is the simplest culinary process, it still requires certain knowledge and tricks. I hope you find my life hacks useful.
In canteens there is no time for such processing. They are boiled there and left to cool in this water. The eggs are then perfectly peeled while they are wet. And you also need to start peeling from the blunt end: there is an air sac.
and if I kiss then ,,,,
They will fall on their own...
Not eggs! Sakorlupa!
Just cut it like that!!!
In general, you need to fill it with cold water! I think they will fall off on their own!
Leva you are an Academician!!!
Sklifasofsky!!!
And eggs too!
and What does the Dear Lady think!!! ???
Really looking forward to the answer !!!
A handful of salt in boiling water after boiling in cold water and eggs of any freshness will clean well
The air sac may be slightly to the side
so that the shell lags behind perfectly, I take an egg, pierce the egg with a needle from the blunt side, after the water boils, I put the egg in boiling water and cook for 7-10 minutes, after putting it in cold water, the shell lags behind perfectly. The above published article requires a lot of expenses
What kind of fool came up with this, I did just that, brought the water to a boil and put my two eggs in there, screamed like crazy, then spent a month in the hospital.
I keep chickens myself, but the eggs are less than 10 days old, can you
I keep chickens myself and after removing them from the nest I put them in the refrigerator. Boiled eggs are difficult to peel, even though you put them in the snow.
At least work some magic on fresh eggs. but they will still be difficult to clean.
Use a needle to break through the shell film in the ass and cook.
Place the boiled egg(s) in a glass (saucepan) with water, close it with your hand (lid), shake vigorously for a few seconds, the shell will burst and be easily cleaned
The only correct conclusion to all this writing is: don’t boil fresh eggs, let them sit in the refrigerator for a week and everything will clean up just fine...
I completely agree with you.
The only way to clean hard-boiled eggs is to boil them 10 days after they are laid.
After boiling the eggs, put them in cold water, first you need to crack them a little, water will flow under the crack and this will make it easier to peel the egg
I do this too
Just put the eggs in a quart jar with cold water, close the lid and chicken out. And whether they are fresh or not fresh, they will be cleaned like little ones.
I put the eggs in boiling water, cook for 10 minutes and then in cold water. Cleans perfectly, even the freshest ones
I tried your method today - everything worked out, although I cooked it for 1 minute (soft-boiled), but even so they cleaned up perfectly. Thank you!
Question for all egg “experts”: why are eggs sold individually and not by weight????
Pierce the egg anywhere with a needle, cook without tambourines. I always do this, no problem
It's a very progressive method. I cook differently. I put a ladle or pan, pour cold water, depending on the quantity, punch a small hole on the back with a sharp knife, place the eggs in the pan, and light the gas. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan or ladle from the heat, cover with a lid and turn off the gas. Next, the time under the lid depends on what kind of egg you want to get. !,5 minutes. crumple, steep for 5-7 minutes, then drain the hot water and add cold water. The cooking process is finished. Hard-boiled eggs, for example for salad. They are easy to clean, if you break the shell with the back side and roll it on a cutting board, the shell is removed with tape. A little warning. Everything that is written is not suitable for fresh, homemade eggs.
Yeah, I recommended it.
Yes, that's exactly what I do. The main thing is not to forget to break through the shell before cooking.
piercing the blunt end of a raw egg with a thick needle will allow you to avoid the hassle of cleaning.
Take a small cellophane bag with a zipper, pour 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil into it, put 4-5 broken eggs in it, do not zip the bag all the way and put in boiling water. Cook for 12 minutes. Remove, cut the bag, cool and cut. ??
And you are guaranteed the exquisite taste of eggs with “notes” of cellophane.
And it will turn out to be Poached. I do this at work.
Polyethylene, not cellophane! There are no plastic bags!
The main thing is sunflower
After cooling, break the blunt ends slightly and clean the sharp ends, then blow on the egg and it will fly out on its own.
Which direction should it blow from? It is important! :-)
I have been looking for a way to peel eggs for a long time. I tried this one too. I did everything exactly as the author wrote. My chickens lay eggs every day.
I took fresh ones. The method doesn't work! And other methods that I found on the Internet do not work either. Neither with salt nor with soda. None. Eggs still clean equally poorly!
When boiling eggs, you need to put a slice of lemon in the water, cook for 5 minutes and let them cool in the same water.
Roll a boiled egg between your palms to make it easier
Yes, I agree, but different methods are invented by those people who have never eaten real fresh eggs from a chicken
Take a freshly boiled egg, place it in a glass glass, pour in about half a glass of cold water, close the neck with one palm and shake in different directions for several seconds. Ooh. The shell peeled off on its own.
?
I have experienced it 100% myself and recommend it to everyone. Petrovich +++++
A little about something else, but on topic. Once at the market, while buying eggs, I asked the seller to replace a cracked egg. He told me the secret of what to do to prevent cracked eggs from leaking when cooked. It turns out that you need to throw an ordinary toothpick into the water with eggs. The eggs, as if frightened by such a neighborhood, will not flow out. Now I always do this. Works 95%.
I liked it, it was funny, how the eggs were scared of the toothpick.
So many different recipes and suggestions! Where to stop? And how we cooked, so we will cook!
Toothpick????
cook for 2-3 minutes. hit the shell so that it bursts, then cook until done and cool in cold water; any egg can be peeled normally.
that’s your problem... but once it’s cleaned, so be it)
This is exactly what is said)))))))
Indeed. She said it right. What difference does it make how they are listed? The main thing is that it turns out the way we planned: cool or crumpled. And in general, mashed eggs are not peeled, but the top is removed and eaten with a spoon)
I wonder how old the author is? But I see this article has worried many. I just didn't expect it.
Boil the egg, put it in cold water, lower the egg into the stand, open the shell from the sharp end and take a teaspoon or dessert spoon and eat the hot egg with appetite! Hooray for the chicken!
Is it not good to eat an egg if you haven’t taken it? two??in one?dishes
At least I laughed here! Great comments! Thanks to people with a sense of humor, other sites are full of negativity...
No, after all, baking soda is the most effective method I’ve tried. I put the washed eggs in a pan with cold water, then on the stove, then, when the water just starts to boil, add half a teaspoon of soda and depending on the consistency I want the egg, I cook it, then immediately into ice water
Guys, there would be something to cook, but cleaning would not be a problem. I clean it in a glass after cooling, someone wrote it earlier, took it out, removed what was stuck, washed it off with water and bon appetit.
As they say: “You can believe it, or you can check it.” After any method of boiling eggs with added salt, you need to: 1. Pour cold water over all the eggs for 3-4 seconds. 2. Drain the water. 3. Pour cold water for about five minutes. 4. Drain the water. I think that there is no better way for the next 5 million years. Sincerely, and Alexey Buravkin...
My eyes......how to unsee this???? firstly, there is a film between the white and the shell, so purely physically it cannot stick to the shell... secondly, by sharply cooling the egg, condensation forms between the white and this film. Thanks to this, the egg cleans well... and not the nonsense that is cooked up here...
cook longer and no “corrals”
I knew how to cook eggs correctly as a child, so I didn’t see a new discovery.
Take the egg and cook for 5 minutes. Then keep it in cold water for 5 minutes and clean it. And we eat it in 5 minutes. Next, don’t think for 5 minutes about the problem of peeling eggs.
You can leave it there for more than 5 minutes and it will cleanse perfectly.
You can place an egg in a glass of water, cover it with your palm and shake the glass; the egg shell almost always comes off quickly.
well, eat the week-old ones that are almost rotten and you will be happy, but throw the fresh ones in the trash, they can’t be cleaned
I recommend trying it with a slice of lemon.
That's right, a spoonful of vinegar or a dozen drops of essence...
AND IT'S BETTER TO COOK WITH MEAT THE FUCK SOUND WITH LEMON
Well done, I accept with a cheerful laugh @
?
You can cook without salt; after cooking in the sink, add cold water to hot water, gradually draining all the water. And everything cleans without problems. You only need to cook for more than 8 minutes.
Chapter of KFK! - ducks, chickens, geese, turkeys, quail, rabbits of various breeds!!! I have experience in boiling eggs. I’ll give you some advice.
Week-old, and even more so two-week-old eggs will clean well without these tricks. But this method will not work for fresh eggs. With all these manipulations, they are poorly cleaned.
So, in agony, poached eggs were born, without shells at all :).
I don’t peel boiled eggs, but after they go through the whole procedure and end up on the table.
For consumption, I easily cut it in half with a knife and easily remove it from the shell with a spoon.
First you need to at least have a couple of eggs. Gradually heat them in a cup under running warm, then hot water, while the bowl of water boils on the stove. Using a spoon, carefully place the eggs into the boiling water. Next, 2 options. 1. Eggs in a bag "-after 0.5 min. + - seconds - remove the eggs and pierce the blunt end of the egg with a syringe, introduce (slightly) a saturated solution of salt with spices... by eye... to taste. Return the eggs back, and after 0.5 min. you can eat by placing egg into the egg mold with the sharp end down, breaking the blunt end of the egg, scraping it out with a teaspoon and eating.2. “steep”. It starts the same. Only after puncturing with a syringe and introducing the solution, cook for 5 minutes + -. Take out, put the eggs in a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes + -, and clean under running cold water. Clean with a blunt end. I just came up with something... Summarizing the experience of previous comments. I have to try it myself...
Namesake, damn it! I even rewrote it so as not to confuse it, but you have to do this on a full belly, otherwise you’ll die of hunger!
One thing in the text, another in the short film... How to understand? And only experience... the son of difficult mistakes...
After cooking, place in cold water, then remove, let warm up, and then again under cold water.
Everything is correct about the contrast of hot and cold water. Many people think that they add salt to clean the eggs better, but this is not true, they boil faster in salt water, since salt water has a different density
A solution ALWAYS boils slower than a pure solvent, in this case water
How many centuries have passed, and now the secret of cooking has finally been revealed
Wasted time on VPS. They can't hatch eggs. The homeland is dying! You bitches are balls!
If they are fresh they will not clean well.
We just need to breed a breed of chickens that will lay stale eggs, but for now we buy them in a store, preferably in some run-down place, there certainly won’t be any fresh ones there, the main thing is that they don’t float upside down (that is, rotten ones)…
I boil the eggs with salt and add a little citric acid so that the cracked eggs do not leak out. Cook for 7 minutes. from the moment of boiling. I drain the water, swirl the hot eggs in the pan until they all break, and immediately pour cold water on them. They clean perfectly! In 5 min. you can clean 30 pieces or more!
Each testicle requires an individual approach, these are chicken babies.
This kind of controversy was created, it’s just terrible. Do nothing. I read it like a fool.
The funniest comment, and about me too
Congenial! I keep chickens at the dacha. Author 5+
I tried it instead of cold and straight into boiling water. About 90 percent, half the number of eggs in the pan burst and leaked out. The same thing happened when trying with hot water from the tap. With a sharp expansion, the shell bursts and that’s it. And the question is, why use acid or lemon juice? Soften the shell? Thanks everyone for the advice. Some of them I'm hearing for the first time.
To prevent the eggs from bursting, I have seen a toothpick placed in the water. Helps.
The acid causes the protein to instantly coagulate and not leak out of cracks in the shell.
Take the eggs, put them in the microwave for 3 minutes - the shells will actually separate from the eggs themselves... :)
put the eggs on a hot frying pan and the eyes will pop out (fried egg recipe)
Take an egg straight from under the chicken and test your technology with it.
But I don’t peel the eggs, I eat them with the shells—calcium is a real benefit to the body. One Tatar taught me
And I eat quail. That's where the problem is
I read it with pleasure. I laughed until I cried. I wish everyone good luck in the cooking process!
If you carefully pierce the shell (from the blunt side) before cooking, the egg will not burst and is easy to peel.
BRAVO everyone!!!!! You made my gloomy morning cheerful! I laughed heartily! So much for the benefit of experienced advice!!!
We boiled the eggs, poured out the boiling water, then poured in cold (only cold, not room) water, drained it, waited 10 seconds and poured it in again. Let them cool down. And still no problems. The shell bounces back at once. In general, HOLD YOUR EGGS TIGHT!
Friends in Pyaterochka often sell eggs without shells, I advise you, they don’t need to be peeled, and they are cheaper)))
It was correctly stated above, microwave for 5 minutes and then learn how to cook and fry and clean! ?
To avoid spoiling the eggs, you need to put a silver cigarette case in your pocket.
Thanks for the comments, I laughed heartily???
Candidate's dissertation “Methodological basis for cleaning eggs” 980 pages
I tried a bunch of tips, the only one that really works is this: I put the eggs in BOILING water, after 5-6 minutes. I take it off and fill it with cold, they clean well
Eat eggs raw
I suggest my method: After cold water, I clean the blunt end to the maximum diameter, then I clean the sharp end a little and blow it out. It flies out like a cork.
What are you carrying? The separation of an egg from the shell depends only on the time when the egg was laid by a chicken; a freshly laid egg cannot be separated from the shell, but only if it has been lying there for some time.
I wonder: from which end to pierce the egg - from the blunt or from the sharp?
And what's the difference?
What if there are two yolks in an egg?
There would be eggs, but fresh, not rotten, not smelly, but how to eat it is everyone’s business???
While I was reading the comments, I laughed heartily????
Well guys, are you giving it???
Should you eat eggs fresh???
And I cook natural chicken eggs for just 1 minute and immediately put them on the table and eat them with gusto!
Good health to everyone and always smile!??✌?
I was taught this way since childhood, but I’m no longer young.
If the eggs are fresh, I gently knock them against each other, then cook them as usual and clean them well. I put it in very cold water and the gas should not burn much, after cooking I put it under cold water. Try it
I watched an Uzbek peel eggs: he rolled a boiled egg on a cutting board, then he blew into the shell, and it came off very easily. It was funny!
The funniest comment, and about me too
It was funny to read, well done guys, they took the problem so seriously! I started reading in a bad mood. As I read, my mood lifted, and by the end I was laughing. Useful and without vulgarity.
“However, from the point of view of physics, this cooking process leads to the fact that the protein heats up and thickens very slowly, having time to tightly adhere to the shell.” I don’t know how from the point of view of physics, but from the point of view of biology, the protein cannot firmly stick to the shell, because it is separated from the shell by a film.
And I hit between my comrade’s legs, he screams in the voice of Vitas and the shell shatters to hell.
People, you are crazy about the recipe for how to boil an egg, but while you were writing, the eggs were already fried.
Science from sciences? Maybe you can tell me who fries pancakes???
!!!!! Laughter, and that's all!
There were so many ways that were not offered. Nothing works universally. My method: pour hot water over the eggs - they are already starting to bubble. You can repeat it a couple of times. And then set it to cook.After cooking, run under cold water. Adding salt doesn't help at all.
This is all nonsense, as I say as a technologist
In my case, after placing eggs in boiling water, their shells ALWAYS crack! To avoid this, I prick the shell with a needle on both “sharp” ends of the egg (maybe just one puncture is enough, I haven’t tried it) - then everything is perfect, nothing cracks.
I wonder: from which end to pierce the egg - from the blunt or from the sharp?
And what's the difference?
What if there are two yolks in an egg?
The difference is that the air bag is at the blunt end. Even if there are 2 yolks.
Yes, this is a whole dissertation for the MINISTRY OF FINANCE!!!
For cooking you need to take WHITE eggs and then there will be no problems with peeling them. Verified.
Egg Masters
WE HAVE FUN. IS THE EGG STILL UNCLEANED?
TRY TO SQUEEZE WATER BETWEEN THE SHELL AND THE FILM WITH A SYRINGE
I think, sorry, you've all gone crazy. You spend so much time discussing a problem that doesn’t exist. That's what it means, there's nothing to do.
The first thing I want to say is that eggs do not have to be stored in the refrigerator.
Second, before cooking, the eggs should be at room temperature. The water you pour into the eggs should not be cold or boiling water - at room temperature or moderately hot.
Third, the container in which the eggs will be boiled should not be too spacious, they should be relatively cramped (so that they do not hit the dishes or each other during the cooking process).
Fourth, the water must be salted (1 heaped tablespoon). Salt water boils less intensely, which means the eggs will wobble less. If the shell breaks, the salt will prevent the white from leaking out.
After boiling, place the eggs in running cold water and keep them there for 3-5 minutes. Cover the container with a lid, drain some of the water and shake several times - the eggs will almost clean themselves.
“Please note that there is an exception to this rule: fresh eggs laid 1-2 days ago will not peel well, even if you pour cold water over them immediately after boiling. Therefore, for cooking, I use eggs that are a week or even two weeks old, provided that they were stored in the refrigerator. “So this is where we need to start!
Fresh eggs will never be easily peeled, even if you dance around with a tambourine. If you managed to peel them easily and quickly, then they were not so fresh, even when it was written that they were tomorrow. And I would advise the very smart people who PLACE eggs in hot water to put them in the microwave.
I never clean them
??
Prick the eggs with a thin needle, pour boiling water over them and cook. 5 minutes soft-boiled, 8 minutes hard-boiled. Then under cold water for 1 minute. And that’s it!
The easiest way to cook poached eggs at home is without cost! I don’t know any simpler, and for every taste and every consistency! Always charming and tender and, if necessary, straight to a sandwich!
Don't forget to extreminate with liquid nitrogen
Give it to a woman in the eye, send her to a class on how to cook any eggs perfectly, check it, hit her in the second eye and make her read the entire Internet on this topic. After this, any eggs are easy to peel.
It’s really much easier to peel eggs if you put them in already boiling water.
