Gimmicky Way of Peeling Hard Cooked Eggs

This technique has been on the internet for years. I have blown out raw eggs before and it hurt my ears so I have never been inclined to try. Have you?

I have done this but only after boiling the eggs in water with a bit of baking soda.

I don't like the additional spit on my eggs.

No thanks.

I tried it after seeing the videos. It worked for me, but it took a few tries to get the technique right.

would this work with a SV egg that had a soft center, but was re-cilled and the outer albumin cooked at a higher temp for 30 sec or so.

This was a technique ( the cool, re-sv in hot water for 30 sec or so forgot exactly) on the sv egg thread a while back

It was then difficult to shell.

I guess you have to do it gently.

I'm with dcarch - I'd do this for an egg I'd eat myself (though even then, would feel a little squeamish), but can't imagine doing it for an egg I'd serve someone else!

Does this work for eggs where the shell sticks like crazy?

[nannipigg]

oooh that's quite clever! but would only do that to my egg not another persons!
