I actually very much enjoy hard boiled eggs. It’s simple and easy, filling, nutritious, and 100% Keto-friendly. Boil a dozen and stick ‘em in the fridge. Eat whenever you’re hungry.

I do have difficulty peeling the shells though. End up tearing half the whites off. Someone told me it is better to boil “old eggs” as the shells peel off easier due to decay of that film between the shell and the egg. I don’t know if that is true because I never really check the expiration date of eggs.

I did do a taste test between brown eggs and white eggs. Sorry white people, brown eggs taste better when hard boiled.

The trick to peeling a hard boiled egg is to drop it into a ceramic coffee mug, put your hand over the top and shake vigorously for 10 seconds or so. The shell will likely be half off already but either way, it will be loose enough that a quick rinse under running water will clean the rest off nice and easy.

“I do have difficulty peeling the shells though.”

Alton Brown proved the solution to this is to drop your eggs into BOILING water.

The very quick rise in temp causes the membrane lining to separate from the egg itself.

100% solution.

Boil eggs with a little vinegar or oil they’ll peel easier
