why boiled egg shells can sometimes be easy to peel and other times stick and take chunks of egg with them
In: 203
I used to steam my eggs, and then did the ice bath. I still had the same “shell stuck to the eggs” problems with peeling a lot of the time. I’ve tried steaming, starting on cold water, new and old eggs, poking a hole in one side with a pin, and vinegar in the water. Nothing seemed to matter much. I even tried baking them in a muffin tin. Then I tried j. Kenji’s Lopez-Alt’s method, of adding the eggs to boiling water and then just letting them air cool back in the carton. It’s been the best results I’ve had.
