With many making deviled eggs for the holidays I thought I would put this tip up. Add 2 tablespoons of salt to your water to make your eggs peel easier.

I had tried this before and it did not work. On a cooking show today, they said most people only use a pinch of salt, and that is not enough to do the trick and they got irritated that it didn't work. So I gave it a try and wow!!! those eggs peeled soooooo easy and looked so nice!!! :D:D:D

I always add a tablespoon or so of vinegar to the water and my eggs peel easily, too. I never attributed it to the vinegar, though. I always add the vinegar to hold the egg together if a shell cracks while cooking. I'm going to try the salt, trick, though. Hmm, salt 'n' vinegar eggs!!

After 30 yrs of cooking I finally learned this tip from a co worker last year. She sprinkles salt in water when she boils her eggs and they peel so easy~ Works for me and the eggs are unharmed by my peeling them!!!! Now I know to measure 2Tbsp Thanks ~~

There was a talk show Chef on one of the radio stations I listen to. Use cold water when boiling eggs. Never use warm or hot water. Only leave in the water for 8-10 minutes no more or else your egg will taste chaulky. Take the eggs out and put in ice water for a few minutes. This willl assure your eggs will taste right and peel easier.

Over cooked eggs turning greenish aren't too appealing looking either LOL

If it's good for potato chips :D:D:D

Do the eggs pick up the vinegar flavor if they crack open? Not that it would be a bad thing for deviled eggs or egg salad :D:D:D

I boil eggs all the time. Put eggs in cold water, no salt. Crack and roll the eggs. Rolling loosens the skins and the peels slide off in almost one piece.

Thanks 4 this information

I have always left the eggs in the boiling water til it cools and they peel really easy....never had a problem. the rolling works the best

my hubby is a cook and taught me this years ago. once i had no salt and used pam. also put eggs in cold water to start. i roll on a hand towel
