Getting "Fresh" eggs to release shell when boiled
#1
I have chickens, so I get fresh eggs. I love boiled eggs, for recipes and deviled eggs. But for the life of me, I cannot get these eggs to peel. Unlike the store bought ones that almost come off in one piece.
I have tried putting salt and vinegar in the water but neither works, anybody got any tips or tricks to getting them to peel.

Lucky you with the source of fresh eggs in the yard. There is nothing like a fresh egg. I live a few miles from a horse farm where there are chickens strutting all over the place quite at peace with the dogs, barn cats and horses (Paso Fino quite beartiful). The eggs are fresh and the chickens strut free and along with what they are fed they pick through the horse manure for tasty snacks. I asked the owner if that means they are not only free range but organic as well.
This is slightly off topic but it touches a nerve with me; a former city girl. I tell my urban grandchildren that they are horse eggs.
