 A Question from a Reader:

Laurie has asked:

Do you know why my home grown eggs are difficult to peel once they are hard boiled?

 

Yes, Laurie, I can help you with that.

Fresh eggs are very difficult to peel. It's because they are fresh. It's because backyard flocks get better nutrition and makes the shells tougher and the membranes thicker.

There several tricks people use to peel them. I use salt and vinegar in my water. Sometimes people let the eggs age in the fridge before using. Some even poke a hole in the large end before covering with water.

Here is a video of the coolest way I know to peel eggs perfectly every time.
