hard boiled eggs?
« on: November 11, 2010, 11:45 »
hi al you chicken keeping friends.

I have a quick question for you all.  Whilst eating a couple of hard boiled eggs for breakfast in a hotel recently I found that some shells come off very easily and have a membrane underneath that helps you to shell them and some come off in tiny pieces, even leaving large pits in the white of the egg?

Is there a reason for this?

Many thanks for those of you who can help as its not vital but made me wonder.


Thanks

Jools

Its all down to the freshness of the egg, An egg thats a few days old peels easier than an egg thats only a day or so old.  :)

As above, if you want to shell a lot of boiled eggs for pickling keep the eggs for 2 weeks before cooking and they peel cleanly.

thanks very much, mmm now youve made me think about pickling some eggs!! Ill have to go and read up on that now.

This site is brilliant, you start off with a couple of lettuce and carrots in a tub, then add some herbs, then your potatoes and before you know it your trying to re live the good life!!

so much fun!

eggs never seem to be around for 2 weeks in my house, I'd have to hide them.  I love hard boiled eggs in summer tho.   :)
