Make sure that the water you use is not warm or hot, cover the eggs at least an inch above with the water in the saucepan or pot. Place the pot on medium high, when it starts to boil, turn it off but leave the pot for 10-15 minutes with its cover on. After the time has elapsed, make sure that you have ice water in a bowl, transfer the eggs into the ice water. Then you should be able to peel the eggs with no problem because the ice water will expand the egg shell, making it easier for you to peel the shell off the egg.
This should work – I boil eggs all the time because my toddler likes it.

1.) Add a small amount of white vinegar to the water. It keeps the white from leaking out if the shell cracks.
2.) Either bring the eggs to room temperature or add them to the water when you put the pan on the stove – hot water + cold eggs = broken, leaky shells.
3.) Use a timer. Once the water starts to boil, lower to a simmer and set your timer for 10 minutes.
4.) When the timer goes off, *immediately* remove the eggs from the stove, dump the boiling water and rinse the eggs under the cold tap. When they are cool enough to handle, tap them and peel them under the running tap. The water helps keep the shell from sticking to the white.
5.) Make sure your eggs are fresh! The older the egg is, the more likely it will stick to the shell when you peel it.

Older eggs are harder to peel. Check the date on the end of the carton.
After they are done cooking, drain off the hot water, and fill the pan with cold water. Crack each shell with a fork or whatever, so the cool water can get under the shell which will aid peeling.
Good Luck!

To take the shell off put the egg in cold water and let it cool down and roll it with presure with the palm of you hand
and i just let if over cook till the shell cracks or when the water starts boiling alot

Start with cold water to avoid the yucky gray ring around the yolk.

Cook your egg on a low-Medium heat.. for 10 minutes after it starts to boil… Fresh eggs are harder to peel.. try cracking it all over with the handle of a butter knife, then roll it in your hands till the shell practically falls off…then peel it

Boil some water. Once it is boiling, place egg(s) in the water and cook 8 minutes. When the times is up, fill the pot with cold water and run it over the eggs for about 30 seconds (really cold water). Keep the egg in the cold water for about 5 or more minutes. Keep exchanging the water for colder. When the egg has been in cold water for about 5 minutes, hold it to see if there is any warmth.
To peel the egg tap it on the counter until it cracks slightly. Then, roll it on the counter until almost the entire shell is cracked. Then just peel the shell off gently.

cook them in the oven

I put the eggs in the pot of cold water. bring it to a boil. boil for 10 – 12 minutes. The eggs will be done the yolks will be yellow. I usually peel the eggs while they’re still warm from cooking. If cold, trying soaking the eggs before peeling. This will let enough water in so that the shell doesn’t stick.

Funny, but I just put some on the stove before seeing your question!
Fill a pot with cold water (size depends on how many eggs you are boiling…for two eggs I use a one quart pot, for three I use a two quart pot…the idea is that they have some room to boil and jump around in there without too much crashing into one another).
Add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar. (This seals the shell if it cracks and therefore prevents the eggwhite from leaking out.)
Add eggs.
Bring to a rolling boil, and let them dance around for about a minute.
Remove from heat (put on another burner that is still cold) and cover.
Let sit for at least ten minutes (to play it safe, I go 15 to 20).
Then, drain the hot water, and fill pot with cold water. After the water warms from the hot eggs, drain and fill again with more cold water. Let it sit in the sink until the eggs have slightly cooled. Then take an egg and dry it off with a paper towel. Gently roll and tap (at the same time) on the counter to break the shell in many different places, and peel. If the egg comes apart, either you weren’t thorough enough in breaking the shell first or the egg was very very fresh. Usually, though, a very fresh egg won’t necessarily break apart, but the shell will stick more to the surface and not come off as cleanly.
Okay, and I have to be honest here. Because I was a little lazy and got distracted because I wanted to answer your question, I didn’t add the vinegar, boiled the eggs too long, and now one of them broke open a little in the water! Still, it is salvagable and they are thoroughly cooked. Please still trust my recipe…if I had followed it myself, I would be in the presence of perfect hard boiled eggs! Good luck and enjoy!

6 minutes boiling water .
then ¨scare¨ them under cold water ,
so that the shell comes of easy
soft boiled eggs are just under 4 minutes

Put them in a pot and when it starts to boil let it go for 9 minutes for hard boiled eggs or around 7 minutes for soft boiled eggs.

My wife says I get them perfect every time. My secret is that I put them in a medium size saucepan, and, once I have them on the stove with the heat on medium-high (at number 7 or 8 if you have a burner with numbers 1-10) I put the kitchen timer on 18 minutes. When it goes off, I pour out the hot water into the sink, fill it with cool water, and let them set for about another 8-10 minutes. Comes out perfect every time.

1. Place eggs in pan of water.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Cover pan and remove from heat.
4. Let stand 20 mins.
5. Run cool water and peel eyes (tap on each end for easier peeling).
Works for me everytime — no cracks and easy peeling!

I start w/ cold water. Put the eggs right in the pan (then you won’t have to worry about them breaking when you try and drop them in the hot boiling water.) Make sure the water covers the eggs. Add a tsp of vinegar (this will smell, but it helps peel the shell off easy.) Set the timer for 15 minutes. The eggs should be cooked through everytime!

simmer the eggs for 10 minutes – don’t do it in heavily boiling water.
(Less might do, but start here.)
After they are cooked, gently crack the egg shell, and roll it around on the counter or any hard surface. You are trying to crackle the shell all over. After crackling each egg, put it in a pan of COLD water.
shell the eggs under gently running cold water.
there is a thin white membrane between the shell and the egg white. If you get it just right, you can peel the eggshell off in strips.
it works most of the time, but practice help.

My best advice is to use a copper pot nd go to a cooking supply store and get a good, old fashioned egg timer ( they are usually filled with fine sand and are inexpensive..
get your water to a good boil, put in a room temperature egg, and use your timer: flipping the timer over once..then remove your egg from the pan and cool in a collander under cold running tap water..

Q: Why do shells stick to hard-boiled eggs? How can I peel them easily?
A: We’ve seen a lot of questions recently about hard-boiled eggs. For some, the problem is the shells sticking, others want to know how to prevent that “green halo” from forming around the yolk. Fear not, if you cook your hard-boiled eggs properly the yolks will be a beautiful yellow and the shells will slip right off.
First, let’s address the issue of eggs sticking to shells. To prevent this, use eggs that are a week to 10 days old. Older eggs have a different pH from new eggs, which researchers say affects peeling. We also find that cooling eggs immediately after cooking in an ice bath makes them easier to peel.
But really, what good is an easy-to-peel egg if it is going to have that ugly green center? The green is made by the iron in the yolk combining with the sulfur in the white. Heat is a big foe of this chemical reaction. The longer you cook eggs, the more likely you are to end up with that green ring. The trick is to cook eggs just until the yolk is set without overcooking them. Removing the eggs from the hot water to an ice bath immediately after cooking will also help prevent the green from forming.
The best way to make easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs with pure yellow centers is to place the eggs in a pot of cold water and add a teaspoon of salt. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and remove from heat and let sit for 13 minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately place in an ice bath until completely cooled. Drain and enjoy your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.

I am not good at the times…usually when I am hardboiling eggs it’s for deviled eggs and if they are overcooked it’s fine for that. i would say about 10 minutes for the hard boiled once the water comes to a boil. i do start them in cold water that way they heat as the water heats.
as for the peeling…the fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel. the older they are, the easier they will peel. we buy farm fresh eggs all the time and if i know i am going to hard boil them and they haven’t been in the fridge for a couple weeks, i will actually go to the store and get the ones closest to being out of date instead because the farm fresh eggs take chunks of eggs whites with the shell because of being so fresh.

All I do is boil them in water for about 15 min and then turn off the stove and let them sit for awhile. I have never had a problem with them being over cooked. As for peeling them…..run them under cold water as you are peeling them and the shell comes right off without the egg cracking and breaking.

one thing, it helps to start with cold or cool water; i used to have the same problem all of the time!

ha, no i dont but hey thanks for the two points, ha ha ha
how about not cooking eggs they carry diseases

Hello, put the eggs into room temp. water. Then place on heat and a pinch of salt to the water. Once the egg boils wait 10 minutes and remove from boiling water. Place the eggs under cold water. Enjoy your eggs.

BRING THE WATER TO A BOIL ONCE THE WATER BOILS LEAVE THE EGGS IN FOR 10
MINUTES THEN LET THEM COOL GOOD THAT’S WHY YOUR
HAVING TROUBLE PEELING THEM

start with cold water in a pot. Put in eggs and on high heat uncovered. When the water comes to a boil, put on lid and turn off heat. Let sit for about 11 minutes. When time is up, run eggs under cold water.

Put eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Add about 1-2 teaspoons of salt. When the water boils, turn off the burner and cover for 12 minutes. After the 12 is up, drain and cover with cold water until cool. That is the exact recipe that I follow and it comes out right every time.
