I saved this the email that this came with forever.

Today, my husband and I decided to try it.

We followed each and every direction but the egg remained inside the shell.

However, using the baking soda and ice water really did make it easy to peel.

Within mere seconds we peeled the eggs with very little effort.

So something good did come of this, but we really did want to see the egg fly out of the shell!

My older sister taught me years ago to take the pan of eggs off the stove and put in the sink and run cold water in it until there is no more hot...this cools the eggs quickly...then after they sit for a little while, you pour off the water and leave the eggs in the pan and shake the pan back and forth to throw the eggs around side to side...no need to pick up each individual one and crack it...then you just take a spoon and slip up under the shell because it fits just right because it is the same shape...then I just peel the shell that way, it is very simple and does not take very long at all.

I have found in my own experience that it is sometimes easier to get off if you put a little water back in the pan after you shake them around...this way some water gets between the shell and the egg and makes it even easier to get off...

Good luck everyone...egg peeling is REALLY not that difficult!

I hope no one is blowing on my hard boiled eggs.

I LOVED this video and was so excited to try 'blowing' my eggs out of the shells! My husband and I boiled the eggs (good organically raised home grown type) and followed all the instructions perfectly. When it came time to 'blow' the eggs out of their shells, we made the holes and blew as hard as possible (to the point of being light headed), but none of the 4 we tried would 'blow' out! We then let the eggs 'cool' for another 5 or so minutes and tried another egg but (sadly) to no avail! We also realized that to let the eggs 'sit' the extra time also apparently allowed the baking soda to change the texture of the boiled egg white. Unfortunately, the egg white became similar to the texture of cream of wheat! Yuk!! I don't know about the rest of you who have actually tried to do this....has anyone been successful?

First post, first time to this site, so bear with me. Was sent this video from a friend, enjoyed it. Looks like a innovative way to peel eggs.

Here's what I wanted to comment on. Do you people realize us, as humans, are essentially one big walking germ? Our intestines are composed of teams of helpful germs, that while they are in the stomach area, if they got out, Uh-Oh. Also, our very own mouths on a daily basis hold MILLIONS of germy little guys and gals. Not to mention the fact, our outer layer of skin, aka epidermis, is assaulted and comprimised on a multi-daily basis. All in all, we are a big walking germ. The human race itself could be looked at as a disease, as we are quite talented at destroying the very planet we inhabit. All in all I just wanted to say, germ-o-phobes out there, take a minute and consider, you may be destroying friends with your sprays and your solutions. IN all mathematical liklihood, you probably are taking out the possible hazardous ones. But just think, what if (hypothecitals are my favorite) you by chance, happen to take out the one bacteria that was meant to help you? Just the one that would save you from having a bout of the common cold. Sure, we all get the rhinovirus sometimes, but if you could have deflected just that once, would you? Lol, I would. I know I would.

That's just what I want, Someone elses breath and spit on the egg I'm going to eat.

Just think about that when the old lady with 5 cats brings over some deviled eggs to share at the neighborhood picnic. You just might get lucky and get the "Surprise Egg".

It's the one with a chunk of food that came off her dentures from last nights diner ;~)

This sounds like fun if you have the time.....I personally don't find any prroblem peeling eggs usually, but I 'boil' them in water with a tsp. of two of vinegar added....the shells usually come right off.

I found the article creative and interesting (and worth trying). What I liked best was reading what other people thought about it.

Uh....Baking soda lowers the PH. Stick to boiling eggs and leave the chemistry of out it....

I tried this method and it just didn't work at all. Has anyone else tried doing this???

I loved it, I will certainly try it next time I hard boil an egg. I do sometimes have some shell stick and be a pest, and for entertainment value this is excellent.

It is true that eggs you purchase from a store are generally quite a bit less than fresh eggs. If you tasted a fresh egg and compared it with a store model, the difference is light years in taste for the fresh egg! I have a few chickens that I enjoy and their eggs are great. Unless you have tried a fresh egg you will ever know! And I love the litter critters. Phoebe

This guy is making more work for himself, this is quite annoying in itself. He better let the egg cool before he sticks it to his lips...This is tooo funny! On top of that he has to add baking soda to the water? Why not use filtered water? This video makes a mockery out of something so simple as boiling water! Well, I guess it takes all kinds!
