For some reason I cannot shell my boiled eggs anymore. When I shell them the white tends to come off in layers with it! They never used to do that? I boil them by placing them into a pan of cold tap water, bring it to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Just as I have done for the last 20 years! This is from free range from various farm brand from super markets so it's not just a wierd batch of eggs.  :blink:

They are just very fresh eggs

For easy peel eggs you need to leave them for a week at room temp before cooking.

I can't wait that long and so I chop my hard boiled eggs in half lengthways with a sherp knife and scoop the egg out of the shells with a teaspoon.  "Werks fer me"

Ahh that would make sense as it started happening when we started to make sure we bought the locally produced eggs, be it from local chicken keepers or the local farms ones at the supermarkets. Thanks Auntie

Get an egg coddler, it's the only way to eat an egg!

I've had the same thing with our eggs.
I thought it was me??? but how I know better.

The only downside to fresh eggs!

A down side I'll put up with for the best eggs in the world

just goes to show how old shop bought eggs are!!!!  If you have them as dippy eggs with soldiers they can be as fresh as you can get them no peeling required. Free range home grown eggs beats any others any time.
