RE: Easy Boiled eggs
I've found that to be true too, the older the egg the easier to peel. I always buy the supply of Easter eggs for the grand kids to color two to three weeks before Easter. I use a similar system to his except after boiling I sightly crack the egg and set it in cold water, refrigerate for a couple hours then peel. Like he said though you will always have that one relenting egg among the bunch. I also do his boiling technique, I see it on food network when they were showing people how to boil a egg that won't produce that green overture on the yolk.
I worked with an older lady several years ago. She was so clever in many ways. This method worked every time.
Clever she was...she knew before all the "experts" on the food network how to boil a egg without a green rim, it amazed me to how close the comparison to using the peeling method and the link to let cold water loosen the membrane.
Seems to do the trick. The older simple ways are being lost in so many ways. I like when I see something as simple as this be revived. .
