For the last 30 years, I have used a hard boiled egg maker that I inherited from my grandmother, Irene. After all this time, it finally gave out. So for the first time in my life, I made hard boiled eggs on the stove. This recipe/procss was absolutely perfect. Exactly how she said it would. I also raise chickens so I will use this every week. Thank you so much.

English translation courtesy of Google translate:

No, the ice bath wasn’t too long – it can also be 2 hours. But the eggs were too fresh! In order to be able to peel the eggs well, they must be at least 2 weeks old. Don’t worry, eggs last 2-3 months!!! Everything else is false marketing.

However, I wouldn’t do KD’s tip: if the shell is broken, the boiled egg will only last a few days because bacteria can get into the product. Boiled eggs last a long time.

Nein, nicht das Eisbad war zu lang – das kann auch 2 Stunden sein. Aber die Eier waren zu frisch! Um die Eier gut schälen zu können, müssen sie mindestens 2 Wochen alt sein. Keine Angst, Eier halten 2-3 Monate!!! Alles andere ist falsches Marketing.

Allerdings den Tipp von KD würde ich keines Falls machen: wenn die Schale kaputt ist, hält das gekochte Ei nur noch wenige Tage, da Bakterien in das Produkt eindringen können. Gekochte Eier halten lange.

I cook mine almost same w time but before I put in water I tap my eggs (roundest side up) lightly with a spoon til you hear a crack (trust me takes trial & error) I only messed 2 up that cracked and leaked a little white in pot.. but then I just run under cold water til they cool and I hit them off counter and they peel so easily or u can get a spoon and make crack and work the spoon round the egg and it comes off almost like a spiral..

Sorry, these did not peel at all!
Worst ever hard boiled I’ve ever made.
I’m thinking the ice bath was too long, maybe 5-8 mins?

In reply to Lori.

Lori, after struggling so much with peeling despite trying all different recipes, the key is the ice bath- I wasn’t using enough ice. That water must be truly *ice cold* and it needs to stay that way (so use enough water so that the hot eggs won’t affect the overall temperature too much) for the whole time.

I was brought up on Delicious egg salad after Church on Sundays, and over these last several years I’ve had SO much trouble with the Peeling!! I have tried Many recipes and kept few for do-overs. It shouldn’t be so difficult, And with this recipe I had Much Better success than others- And I Thank you!!
