GRRR EGG WHITES!!!

[The_Grinder]

Ok so almost every time I boil my eggs in the morning I go through the same shit. When I'm trying to open the shells, I always have a few that stick to the outside of the white, and by the time I get the shell off I've taken like half of the white with it. Does this mean I'm cooking it too long / not long enough? Or does this shit happen to everyone??

haha sounds like my drama in my kitchen. i find that if I take them off the stove and run them under cold water right away and then crack em, they work - but I have given up on boiling them. I just make an omelet and hit it. :)

Supposedly, the older the egg, the better for boiling. The fresh eggs are the ones that the shell sticks on. They say the best way to boil them - put them in the pot of water, bring to a boil, cover, turn heat off and let sit for 15 mins.

Shock the eggs during cooling. No, not by taking your shirt off and showing your gyno boobs. :D As soon as they're done cooking, put them in a bowl of ice water. The chemistry here is that the membrane cools and shrinks, making it less adhesive to the shell.

Leaving the eggs in hot water to slowly cool tends to cause differential degrees of expansion of the proteins in the egg (especially the membrane) and the calcified shell (which doesn't expand), with the end result of a membrane tightly stuck to the shell.

In plain english, fast cooling after cooking = non sticky, easy peeling eggs. A bit of vinegar in the water may also help soften the calcium in the shell, making it easier to crack.

Good deal. Thanks ladies! :D

I usually just take em straight off the stove, run em under water for a few seconds, then crack em. Usually 3 out of every 5 of mine stick.
