I was wondering how many people have trouble peeling eggs. Here is a proper way to cook them.

I put this on the thread that was asking, "what do you use a teaspoon for"
After the eggs are cooked and there are a TON of ways to cook an egg,
I crack the shell completely all around. Then wet a teaspoon, a table spoon, not a measuring spoon. At large end of the egg, I'll slip the spoon under the shell and under the thin membrane between the shell and the egg, then roll the spoon around the egg thus removing the shell with no or a minimum of damage to the white of the egg. As you know, fresh eggs are very hard to peel without tearing up the white.
Here is another web page on EGGS:

pretty close to my method. it works every time. i don't however wet the spoon. start in water, when comes to a boil, take off flame, let sit for ten or fifteen minutes. plunge into ice water. then smash egg shell slightly, put spoon between peel and egg. turn spoon upside down first. off it comes, slick as a whistle.
I use your boil and set method!
I believe the eggs are tender and not rubbery when I use this method.
It also saves gas and does not heat up the kitchen as much in the Summer months.
Maybe I'll make some egg and olive for lunch and a Dirty Martini
So people I bought 6 plastic containers to make HB eggs. You rub the inside with a pam like spray on a paper towel or brush on some veggie oil. break you egg and put it into the container, put on the top and then boil in a pan of water for let's see if it's a large egg 19-20 min. Will give this a try this morning and see how the containers work.
