How do you cool a boiled egg?

Once you remove the eggs from the oven, you’re going to want to get them cooled down to make them easy to peel. The easiest way to do this is to grab a large bowl, use the running water from your faucet and fill it about halfway full with cold water, and set the eggs right inside.  This will cool them down in a quick method so that you can easily peel them without worry. This trick works with fresh eggs as well as eggs that have been sitting on the shelves for a while as well. 

Do hard-boiled eggs in the shell need to be refrigerated?

Yes, it doesn’t matter if eggs are in their shell or not because once you hard boil them, they have to be stored in the fridge from then on. It’s fine to leave perfect hard boiled eggs out for a short amount of time to cool down but the rest of the time they need to be kept cool to be able to eat.

Why are my hard-boiled eggs hard to peel?

We’ve all been there, right? No matter what we do, those darn eggs just won’t peel like they’re supposed to. When that happens, just know that sometimes it’s just the way it is. There are some people that say fresh eggs are harder to peel than older eggs. It really all just comes down to the membrane. It connects the internal portion of the egg to the shell.  I will say white eggs are much easier to peel than brown!

If you notice that some of your eggs aren’t peeling very well, it actually might not be anything that you’re doing wrong. Waiting a few days before peeling eggs after boiling them. This might help in loosing up the membrane so the shell is easier to come off.
