I feel like I am ready for a cooking segment on Good Morning America now.

edit: wait wait forgot, I boil them for three minutes first before turning the heat off. Jesus, I should've tried it again before posting. FUCK YOU, RED.

edit2: and I add salt to the water first. I don't know if that matters a bit but I used to see my mother do that. lololol this post is cracking me the fuck up.

P.S. I hate you.

You couldn't BE more wrong.

The reason your hard boiled eggs stick to the shell is because you are using eggs that are too fresh. Hard boiled eggs come right out of the shell if you use week old eggs. It has something to do with the membrane that is between the egg and the shell.

PB has been married for 50 years, one thing he knows is old eggs.

See that's funny, I was having issue peeling my hard boiled eggs and my MIL told me it was because they weren't fresh enough. I started boiling them as soon as I bought them, and it worked much better.

Also don't you have to add the eggs while the water is cold, and boil them up like that? I dunno, that's what I was taught.

Just peel the egg shell under running water, problem solved.

I managed one batch of perfect boiled eggs and I will go to my grave convinced I figured out the secret.

Don't try to confuse me with facts!

That actually doesn't help, pk. Plus if you're peeling a dozen eggs, you don't want your water running that whole time.

I never trust what my MIL says.

And adding the eggs when the water is cold and then boiling them prevents eggs from cracking.

Your lack of cooking knowledge leads me to believe you can't possibly be a woman.
