I know there was a post sometime back about different ways to peel eggs. I didn't want to high jack the pickled eggs post just bit ago. So here is a new post about peeling Hard Boiled Eggs.
As I posted on the pickled eggs post. It was just odd timing that I had smoked and pickled some eggs my self.
That all got me thinking about the past peeling eggs post.
Right before I did my smoked eggs. One them DYI internet hack post popped up on my FB. It was peeling Hard Boiled Eggs by shaking in water. I don't know how to post the YouTube link I watched. I tried the method I watched and I only did 4 dozen eggs. So I guess I can't say that is a real solid evaluation. It did seem to work for the most and I will be trying it again in future.
I put my hard boiled egg in coffee cup with about inch water. Put my hand over cup and shook it. Have to say I got so I could actually tell when shell was off the egg. At least on one where it came right off. There were a few eggs that still didn't give up their shells so easy. I don't think though that I goofed up as many as would have just peeling them.

Guess I don't recall in the old post what was the decided best method to peel eggs was.

4 dozen hard boiled eggs peel by shaking in water.

The few that didn't come out the best. Had issues with.

Two dozen eggs in smoker

Two dozen smoked eggs in pickle juice.

After 5 day soak... Smoked pickled egg with lunch ..yum yum!

My wife even tried a bite of one and said was good. So could probably be good for anyone likes pickle eggs and smoke things.

I'm guessing because of Easter with all hard-boiled eggs. Is probably why I always got in habit doing things with them this time year.
I really don't have any secret to smoking them or like set recipe.
I just smoked these for 4 hours at temp probably between 100 and 150. I'm just guessing at that because that's where my smoker tends to run in cooler weather. I use oak and some maple because that's what I have that's free. I did 4 hours on these because I had cheese in colder smoke for same time. Depends on what you like for smoke. But 2hours probably be enough for some people.
The pickling recipe is same one I use for fish. Only I don't do a brine soak with eggs like do raw fish.

It was peeling eggs part always found frustrating.

Instant pot, works good, I’ve never had eggs peel so easily as they do after being cooked in the instant pot.

That’s really interesting trick shaking them, I’m going to have to look up that video now.
That jar of smoked pickled eggs looks amazing

Yup...Instapot is the trick. If they are brown after peeling they cooked too long.

My secret to smoking eggs is not to overdo it. I do mine, already peeled, in cold smoke for about an hour. Expose them to too much heat or for too long results in a rubbery outer layer.

To cook and peel

Steam them for 11 minutes. You could boil them for that time, but steaming is much simpler. Immerse them immediately out of the steamer into ice water. Pull them out of the ice water after they have cooled. This separated the hold of the membrane to the egg white. Tap them three times on each end, again three times around the circunference. Start with breaking the air pocket. As I always say; The shells come off like a prom dress.

As a side point don't do this in WV, as you might scare the neighbors. (Sorry, Cathryn)

Old eggs peal way better than a fresh egg. We buy 5 dozen at a time. Half sit in the fridge for a month before we boil them.

I just boil and after about 10 minutes boiling take butter knife and Crack each egg shell while it in pot boiling. Boil another 10 minutes. Always peels real easy.

Thx for the reply.
I'm going to try it next week.

Large pot rolling boil 1 minute.
Turn off heat and covered 12 min on timer.
Remove quickly to cold water bath , ice added.

Peels easily after cool

Insta pot works 100%. Never had one not peel, if you're careful you can keep the shell in one piece. Mike

For some reason I have to have a glass of drink handy when eating a hardboiled egg. The yolk can really gum up the GI tract!

If you want perfect eggs every time, old or fresh doesn't matter, with shells that pop right off do this...

On the blunt end of the egg poke it with a pin. Boil a pan of water and when it gets rolling add the eggs and cover for 9 minutes. At the end of 9 minutes remove from heat leave covered and allow to sit off the burner for 8 minutes.

After the 8 minutes, drain and add cold water topped with ice. Leave them sit a few minutes until you can handle them and start peeling. It works first time , every time, and the eggs are always perfect.

Looks good and should keep for a long time. I'm getting so many more eggs than I can sell and eat. Feeding the. To the cats and dogs and still have to many.

I always heard my eggs are to fresh and thatscwhy I have such a hard time getting them peeled. How fresh were your eggs?

The only way I have found that works for me is to take them directly off the heat, let the tap run in the pot just until you can stand to put your hand in, grab an egg and start peeling. The steam from the sudden cooling will lift the membrane off the white. That's the only voodoo that works for me. If the eggs get too cold, your screwed.
