Peeling Farm Fresh Eggs

As most folks know that have tried/attempted to hard boil and then peel farm fresh eggs, they end up wanting to hurl the darn things at the wall!  It is a mess and the eggs end up looking like they did battle with a shredder!  

I was perusing Google and attempted to find someone, anyone, that has had some success with these ultra fresh eggs!  

Success!!  Thank you Queen of the Red Double wide! Seriously!  

I wanted to make potato salad for dinner tonight, but all we have are farm eggs from our cluckers, and I didn't have time to "age" the eggs.  

So she goes on to explain to take a thumb tack, clean of course, into the fat part of the egg (the non-pointy end).   You don't want to go through the entire egg, but I try to explain it as when you hear the first "crunch" sound, stop!  

Bring some water to a boil.  Do not put the eggs into the water until it is boiling.  I used a big spoon to gently put each egg into the boiling water.  15 minutes was the suggested time.  I may do 13 next time.

Once the timer dings, quickly put the eggs into an ice bath you would have prepared while the eggs were boiling.  I scooped them out of the hot water with the same spoon I put them into the water with.



You let them soak for about 15 minutes.

I peeled all 10 eggs with no issues.  There are only 9 in this bottom photo because I ate one.  But they all were perfect!  

 So, either save Queen of the Red Double Wide's link or mine for future reference!

Easy Peely!
