YouTube - Timothy Ferriss - How to Peel Hard-boiled Eggs w/o Peeling. My friend just sent this to me and I know I am not the only person tht struggles with this.

I want to boil some eggs just to try it.

My kids and I had a lot of fun with this a couple of weeks ago. It does actually work, but you have to blow fairly hard. A few times we got a really loud high-pitched whistle out of the egg and the kids loved that. I didn't do the baking soda bit, though, I'll have to add that next time and see if it really makes a difference.

eeeeeeewwwww!!! Germs!!!!
Who wants to eat a hard boiled egg that someone has blown their guts on?

Boiling an egg for twelve minutes? Sounds too rubbery to me. Once the water boils I turn off the pan and just let it sit and my eggs are perfect. If I leave them in a bowl of water in the fridge all night they are a breeze to peel. I don't want to eat eggs someone blew on yuck.

I dunno....doesn't seem that gross to me....I rinse hard boiled eggs after peeling anyways. Actually kinda neat - I have a couple in the fridge and think I'll try it.

I'll have to try the baking soda thing. I wonder if I have the lung power to do this! It looks like fun.

Have any of you ever done the raw egg in vinegar for a few days? Be sure to store in a jar with lid. After the egg 'does it's thing', put it in corn syrup for a few days. And then, to top it off, put it in water with food coloring in it for a few days... This was my son's science fair experiment one year -- cell osmosis.

in 3rd grade for his science project which made the egg bounce. My daughter loves experiments so I may have to try the one Cuthie mentioned.

I saw this a few weeks ago. My first thought was exactly what dollydeal said, "ewww", but then I couldn't stop thinking about it. I had to try it. I boiled 3 eggs, my first egg I couldn't get it to work, second egg worked, but you need a lot of lung power. The third egg I just peeled like I usually do. The baking soda seemed to make the peeling easier, no need to spew your germs all over everyone's eggs. Just my opinion.

dont know if it worked, used to be something you put on the faucet and the water peeled the egg
