with Easter right around the corner hopefully this thread will pick up some traction…could get to 100 pages by then.

I envision hundreds of eggs that will be ready for my kids to decorate, hope they like the hole in the end.

use a little wood putty before you color them so the little ones don't need therapy.

Boiled 3 dozen for Easter, and each one has a hole in it. I checked a couple after dyeing (chef's samples) and the dye didn't get to the white much if at all.

Look out 20" box fan. This might go down as another classic thread.

How can you drop an egg six feet without breaking it?

By dropping it seven feet - it won't break for the first six.

[eyeguy 54]

poke it and drop it from 7 feet.

The 11 pages on this post caught my eye. After reading all 11 of them...I was hungry for eggs. This is a fairly easy thing to test. Here are my results:

I followed eyeguy54's exact process using 4 eggs. Two I poked, two I did not.

The eggs did peel easily. But I didn't notice a difference between the poked and unpoked eggs with regard to how easily they peeled.

I will say that this process yeilded an easier peel than I normally had with my regular process which was:

1.) Put eggs in pot of cold water

2.) Bring to boil

3.) Boil for 3 minutes (full boil)

4.) Turn off heat and cover for 8 minutes

My conclusion is that eyeguy's process does yeild an easier to peel egg. However, based on my test - the poking doesn't add anything to the equation.

looks like LM has a clone... lol 89,973,224 to 2 now.

P,S, not my way. saw it on FB and tried it. I challenge all nonbelievers to a peeling race. moooo haaa haaaaaaaa

Did some poking last night. I've got to say, this might be the best thing I've ever learned from this site! I will be eating a lot more hard boiled eggs in the future. I will be trying my hand at pickling some early next week.

I agree. While I love pickled eggs, the smoked eggs are where its at. I cold smoked mine for a couple hours while smoking some cheese and they turned out awesome.

cool. welcome aboard the crazy egg ride
