Shelling Hard Boiled Eggs?
My dreams of being a competent cook dashed as I worked my way through NINE soft-ish boiled eggs (8 mins) and had ONE good result. A guy can only eat so much egg salad.
Chefs? Any tips for a fool-proof way to shell eggs?
Thanks.

After you boil them put them into ice water to cool but put a good dash of white wine vinegar in the ice water too. Leave it to cool and that should soften the shells. Used to do it when i had to peel 60 soft boiled quail eggs a day.

peel while still warm under running water, always works for me!

all of the above plus I roll them on a flat surface to get the shelling process started - that's particularly effective with fiddly Quails' eggs - www.thehappypotato.com

Staler eggs are easier to peel too and try a teaspoon between shell and egg.
