So sitting here eating my lunch, which consists of 6 premade hard boiled eggs that I bought at the store for 1.50.

I can't image they have a room full of grandma's peeling thousands of hard boiled eggs 24x7....so...how do they do it?

EDIT:  They all have a perfect little bit of membrane on the thin end, but ive never seen one with the whites gouged or anything....I'm talking perfectly peels hard boiled eggs.

So they subject it to a light breeze?

Be any more cryptic there on the process, sparky?

I think that the forced air is after you eat the eggs.

Crack the end of the shell, inject air.  The easiest place for the air to go is between the shell and boiled egg white.  The shell gives from the pressure and falls away.  Similar to how some people cut an incision into an animal's hide and force air in to separate the skin from the meat.

So it's a self-replicating system?  Eat an egg and blow the shell off the next one.  Repeat.

One of my sisters is a food scientist and I remember reading in one of her magazines about a commercial product that was essentially a huge tube egg.  I guess they'd crack/separate the whites/yolks, then pour them into a long tube  that was spinning –– I'd guess (I'm making this up) –– to keep the yolk in the center, and they'd cook the tube.  End result:  each slice perfect.



ETA:  yeah, like wintermute posted.

After eggs have been boiled 3-5 minutes (some place, more, depending on state health regs and altitude, salt in water or not)
Drain hot water, let eggs cool off a bit (or use a hot mitt) move eggs around in pot until shells are all cracked.
Put COLD water in the pot with eggs, (add ice is optional - works faster) let sit for a few minutes, sheel will peel right off in your hand or under water rinse.
Store eggs in water with salt and a few drops of lemon juice.

You have to use shitty eggs too.

Storebought eggs usually work well. Our "home grown" organic fed eggs don't peel for shit. They stick together too much. None of the tricks in the book worked, which is a shame.

That is what I was waiting for...but by the hissing sound, I am not sure if they have enough pressure to make it blow.

Let them sit 2- 3 weeks before boiling.


Been raising our own for a LONG time.

My best is 21 hard boiled at one sitting.
AFTER lunch.

It is always within your best interest to boil older eggs.  The membrane between the egg and the shell needs time to separate.

No dice. Even tried as long as a month.

Also tried boiling, then letting them sit in the fridge for a few weeks. These are from organic fed free range, mostly Buckeyes and Silver Laced Wyandottes.
