I stopped boiling eggs a year ago. Steaming medium eggs for 15 minutes. Cool in cold water to about room temp, and the shells come right off every time. Perfect for deviled eggs.
STEAM cook your eggs. DON'T boil them. 15 minutes for six eggs or 17 minutes for a dozen. Your life will be changed! Trust me. They will peel easy and will be perfectly cooked.
Insta pot.....cup and half water.....trivet.....manual for 7 minutes......ice bath til cool.....easy peel and perfect! .....Stack as many eggs as you want, depending on pot size......done!
I really enjoy your. presentations, Brian, they are not only informative but entertaining. In the past, I, too, have had bad experiences with peeling boiled eggs, so I googled the best way to peel boiled eggs, and watched a video of a chef who imparted the same directions you just shared. Since I have employed this method I have had consistent success in. peeling boiled eggs. I also like to have limited onion and some crunch ( I use celery because it is a favorite of my husband's)....Thanks again, Brian, for your entertaining instructions.
I have used a lot of things to mash up hard boiled eggs for egg salad. Everything from a fork to empty soup can with a couple of holes punch in the can. In my old age, I have stuck with a pastry tool. You know, the one for making a pie crust. Works great. (so does the empty can)
Hey Brian, I liked your new method to boil and peel your eggs, however, I'm 73 years young and my Mom taught me at age 10 exactly how to boil eggs without having problems peeling them. I put them into a pan of tap water (with 4 tablespoons of white vinegar) cook them for 5 minutes, put lid on and let them cool down. At that point I leave eggs in pot, move to sink and run cold tap water over them until cool enough to handle them. My eggs have never been hard to peel using her method. I usually look for the round indentation in the shell and start peeling egg from that point. It's never failed me. I have no idea what affect the vinegar has on the eggs, I just know it works. Your egg salad sounds good. I've never added apple to mine but sounds like it would taste great. I'll try it next time I make egg salad. One more thing, I crush half my eggs the way you did, then dice the rest of them and added to the crushed eggs. I like a little bite of egg in mine. Thanks for the video, you never get too old to learn! Linda from Texas.
Thanks Linda! I am sure you are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cooking! I love learning from the generation that preceded me. I will try your way.... Mainly because you didn't yell at me and I feel as though I could learn from you!
Good job Brian, just my 2cents on boiling and peeling the eggs,first I never use fresh eggs ,I let them sit in fridge at least a week,has something about the membrane and gasses in the egg,secondput eggs in pot ,cover eggs at least an inch with tap water,bring it to a boil for 5 mlnutes,then turn off the heat an let them sit for 10 minutes,third I simply drain them an run cold water ,ice is an option, let them sit in the cold water for another 15 minutes,fourth ,a slight smack on the counter ,both ends and a light roll now I do mine under running water and lightly press your thumb near the top and the shell will pop off usually in one piece and straight to the trash can,doesn’t get any simpler,oh,and if your making deviled eggs,the day before you make them,use a cake pan and add water at least half way up the eggs and let them sit in the fridge overnight before boiling,this allows the yolk settle itself and makes a very nice presentation.
Also, one thing I usually do before the ice bath is drain the eggs of the hot water, kinda bang em up against each other and get some cracks started, before I drop them into the ice bath.
Let the eggs sit on the counter for an hour before boiling them then boil for 10 minutes, then into the ice water bath. Cold eggs right out of the fridge will sometimes crack when placed into boiling water and the white leaks out.
I've been vaguely considering someday making egg salad with horseradish mustard. And Hellmann's. Of course. Still working on textural elements. Finely chopped dill pickle? Sweet banana pepper instead? Center stalks of celery? Which kind of onion to add...Vidalias will be a few more weeks in the waiting...too mild?
Thanks for sharing recipe. To boil eggs; place eggs in cold water, with 1-2 tb. salt. Bring to boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Drain eggs. Add to cold water bath for 10 minutes. Run egg under cold water while peeling. The salt allows the shells to peel off easily.
Please can you make more videos on salads one can have on toast like with ham and chicken etc🙂Thank you for all your great videos. Gonna try this one now!
Tap the big end of the egg on the counter lightly, just enough to crack it, put it in boiling water for 12 minutes. Drain and fill pan with cold tap water until cool to the touch and peel. Literally the shell falls off of the egg. 12 minutes in boiling water, no grayness around the yoke. We’re from Missouri.
I just add 3 tablespoons of table salt with cold eggs,cold water 2 in over top of eggs,bring to boil,set 8 to 10 min.Off heat Run under cold water ,let set in water for 5 min too cool eggs,peal no problem. I gonna try your recipe,look great.
Ive been boiling eggs for years....i cover them with water. Put them on the stove, on high. 20 mins from the moment you start. Never green, shells come off fine. Start at the more pointed end. Yes an egg has a pointy end. Lol
I steam my eggs and before I cool them I take them and spin them on the counter. If they don't wobble, they're done, if they wobble I'll steam them a little bit longer.
The Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker) makes easy-to-peel hard boiled eggs in 5-6 minutes cooking time. My favorite way to hard boil eggs. Set it and forget it.
It really depends on the eggs how well they peel after cooking. Some eggs will just crack if you put them in boiling water if the shell is not thick enough. Just do it the normal way, guys - cold water, boil for up to 7-10 minutes depending how big your eggs are and hard you want the yolk, then put them under cold water to cool them down for a couple of minutes before peeling. There are no tricks here, really.
I don't believe there's such a thing as the normal way(for anything). I boil my water first and my egg shells never crack ! But i always boil room temp eggs never straight from the fridge and for 7 minutes exactly
Put the eggs gently into boiling water. Boil for 8-12 minutes. Remove them directly into ice water till cool. That’s the normal way for people who use fresh eggs.
I recommend putting the salad in the fridge for at least 4 hours or next day is ideal. The flavor is better because in the fridge everything marinates & just tastes better. Before U eat it let it reach room temp & enjoy.
Hey Brian..... it's Brian here. Have you ever tried this while making hard-boiled eggs? Hot water, of course 6 minutes in covered 6 minutes un covered 4 to 5 minutes in ice water Works incredible! Easy shell peel and literally comes in two sections.
Looks like a good technique for hard boiling eggs. after watching the video I felt like this video was not targeted to an adult like myself, but was made to show a 6 year old how to hard boil eggs.
poke a hole in the fat end of the egg before adding to the boiling water. Also you add to boiling water because water that's boiling is a known temperature. 212 degrees F. If you want soft boiled, seven and a half minutes. Hard boiled, ten minutes. The hole in the fat end, (use a thumb tack) let's the air out of the egg so the shell doesn't crack. Drain the boiling water and rinse under cold. Eggs left hot have green yokes.
I love a good egg salad recipe, but the minute I saw apple, I was like....nah! But I'm a person who prefers an herby, bright, egg salad that has plenty of green bits. Would I taste it if someone else made it...yes. Would I make this myself...no.
Thanks for the vid. Never tried adding apple, but will give it a shot. I only add mayo, finely chopped scallions, S and P, and three or four small spritzes of Tabasco. Not enough to taste it, just enough to highlight the other ingredients.
Seem’s like some people (boil) when passing on info,for many of us there is a normal way,that is truly not rocket science.oh,almost forgot to mention on my tip for eggs when deviling them,letting them set over night on there sides in water centers the yolk and makes a even wall.
You're full of crap on how to boil the eggs.....they go in cold water, bring to boil, then cover/remove from heat 12 minutes...plunge into ice water....this is what causes the membrane to separate.
Ron you sound like someone who is terribly angry about something not worth being angry about. Take a chill pill bro. You do you. In fact, I would be will g to learn from you if you weren't so aggressive.... Actually, that could be a pretty funny cooking channel! I'd watch it!
The key to a perfect way to peal your eggs is cool them for 15 minutes than Crack dip back into cold water and rinse agine back and forth than peal. After cracking the egg than rinsing it in the water the membrain comes loose and comes off clean. And you yourself a tbs of mayo and a tbs of mirical whip and a half of teaspoon of prepared mustered . Mince half onion and half stalk of celery. You can't chop it small enough mince both. Mix together put it on bread toast or crackers. No apple or grapes or nuts of any kind unless it's to your tast. Sometimes a half of tsp of minced pickles it's all up to you. That's the best egg salad sandwich. Your best way. Duh..
Haha! Just make sure the apple is minced very fine. Not mush, but you want crunch still but not so big you can see it in the egg salad. Does that make sense?
You got it all wrong. Never use mayo with egg salad, always use miracle whip, no onions apples or celery, just a little sweet relish to taste and done. You people over complicate this stuff. No toasted bread just good white bread is all.

Yep Alton Brown has an awesome video about it back in the day. Easiest way I’ve found to make hard boiled eggs

Looks yummy
When boiling eggs put about 4 or 5 teaspoons of salt in the water an the shell will come right off

Looks great! I might give it a go with the apple! I usually add a touch of mustard and a little cayenne pepper.

I use an egg slicer and slice them three ways and then mash the rest. ;)
The trick to easy peel eggs is immediate cold water bath after boiling. Salt in water helps also

Bring your water to a boil put eggs in for nine minutes turn off heat let set nine more minutes run cold water over eggs your done perfect every time.

Good Stuff... imma go back through your list.
Adding white vinegar to the water will help the eggshells peel off much easier
Eggs peel perfectly if they are about a week old, the recently laid eggs are when the peels don't just slide off the egg.
I steam my eggs and before I cool them I take them and spin them on the counter. If they don't wobble, they're done, if they wobble I'll steam them a little bit longer.

Have you ever tried to make the eggs in an air fryer
Surprisingly, no! But now that you mention it….there’s a video idea! Have you tried it? If so, what was your method?
Grateful for the egg crack method. Personally I don't have a ton of issues, but I hate it when it does happen
Why without lemon/viniger and mustard?

Hot water, of course
6 minutes in covered
6 minutes un covered
4 to 5 minutes in ice water
Works incredible! Easy shell peel and literally comes in two sections.
Haven’t tried that! I am going to now…
Whoah, that is a huge tub of mayonnaise...never seen that before

Looks like a good technique for hard boiling eggs. after watching the video I felt like this video was not targeted to an adult like myself, but was made to show a 6 year old how to hard boil eggs.

Make an egg loaf no egg shells in instant pot. So easy.

A pushpin is easier to use when making a hole in an egg, gives you something to hold onto.

Overall the recipe is fine but mashing the eggs makes the egg salad mushy. I prefer chunks of eggs in the egg salad.
