I do peel under cold water. Seems some are totally stuck to the egg. Maybe I am not using enough vinegar in the water. Many sites say to use both vinegar and salt in the water. One site swears by dropping them into boiling water, then into an ice bath after for perfect peeling.
They claim the cold start makes for hard peeling. This site claims boiling start, salt, vinegar and a perfect outcome. I may give it a try. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/213737/kens-perfect-hard-boiled-egg-and-i-mean-perfect/ From: Gino Villarini Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2016 5:40 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Boiled eggs What Ken and Forrest said..

Besides that I generally peel under running water which seems to resolve about 99% of the problems. Not sure which property of water helps in this case, but shells come right off.

Seemed like when I was a kid we put vinegar in the water to help the shells slough off. But trying the same trick today seems like the shells are super glued to the egg.
