Eggs

[Bob Dole]

What the hell is the industry doing to the chickens or their eggs that is making it nearly impossible to get a decent looking deviled egg?

For the past couple of years, probably 50% of the eggs Bob Dole boils don't peel worth a shit. Talked to 3 different people this holiday season who have the same problem. Mom just baked two as an experiment, and it yielded the same results.

Something has changed.

This is serious. It's ****ing annoying, and Bob Dole wants a goddamned answer from the industry about what is causing it!

Boil water, insert eggs into the boiling water. Let them boil for approx 17 minuets. Peel under cold water. Guarantee your eggs won't stick to the shells

Have attempted salting the water, vinegar in the water, distiller water, and as noted, NO WATER AT ALL.

THEY ARE ****ING UP BOB DOLE'S EGGS AND BOB DOLE DEMANDS SOME ANSWERS!

The ****ing government wants to set up a ****ing subcommittee to investigate every other damned glitch. Maybe that's the answer.

The truth is out there.

As knowledgeable as that guy is I really want to punch him in the face and break his glasses.

Have done it with eggs that have been in the fridge for a week. Have refrigerated after boiling. Have brought water to boil, reduced to just under boil, inserted cold eggs, set timer for 12,15 and 17 minutes. Have chanted spells above boiling eggs while waving burning sage. Have spoken softly to eggs while they were boiling. Have peeled under running cold and hot water.

It's the ****ing eggs.

This.

Fresh or Grade AA eggs are difficult to peel. Buy Grade A eggs and you should be fine (or Grade AA if they've been in the fridge for several days).

Does he deliver? Because that is totally awesome but likely doesn't change Bob Dole's egregious egg environment.

Odd, I'm in Lee's Summit and I've had it happen before, but usually a bit of vinegar solves it... Mine came out just fine.. And I just checked, and our eggs came from Hy-Vee, can't tell you where the eggs originated..

Mr Bob Dole should admit he knows pie but cannot figure out eggs. Then you can relax. As we age, some things become more difficult.

This. Boiled eggs peel much better as they get closer to the expiration date.

They need to rest in fridge unboiled first

I am a cook for a living in a retirement community where our residents love hard boiled eggs and we make about 20 dozen a week. The key to the perfect hard boiled egg is to boil or steam for about 20 minutes or so. Once you do this you want to shock it in ICE WATER not cold but ICE. The reason behind this is that on the inside of the shell is a thin membrane that is attached to the shell to help it hold together. As a egg is boiled the expands ever so slightly. What the ICE WATER does is shock the temperature of the egg, when that is done the egg will separate from the shell with the membrane. Then proceed to peel with running cold water to act as a lubricant while washing the egg off at the same time.

A lot of times one of the ends is cupped, if that makes sense
