Last week I boiled and somewhat successfully peeled 8 eggs for the week of eating, this week I almost destroyed two whole eggs with my peeling techniques. I don't think it's the longer finger nails but maybe it is?? Hahaha
Good problem to have when you have those nails imo. <3
Haha you are right. It turns out the eggs were not cooked enough, so I cooked them longer and am about to go back in.
There must be a youtube simple solution to peeling eggs. I crack the top and bottom and roll which loosens the shell, but it's still a fiddly picky job. That was taught to me by my son's great grand mother.
Yeah, I should've googled hahaha instead I made a mess.
I should take my own advice too. I've never thought to do it.
I will bang on this drum forever but try steaming whole eggs. They're much easier to peel and taste exactly the same as boiled eggs
I'll definitely give that a go!! I need all the help I can get.
