@@chrisonthiaallthingsglam6624 me too. At 60 I guess I'm too old to be adopted. Lol What a beautiful family. The knowledge shared here is priceless. Thank you ⚘💙⚘💙⚘
If you boil your fresh eggs in an Insta-pot, they will practically pop out of the shell when peeling them. I’ve been raising chickens since I was 10 years old (I’m 49 now) and am totally aware of the peeling problems with fresh eggs and also tried everything. I bought my wife the Insta-pot from Wally World for Christmas and she found out (quite by mistake) that the hard boiled eggs peel so easily you wouldn’t believe it. One time she opened it and one of the eggs had already been peeled while cooking, the shell fell right off. We say it was almost worth spending the money for that cooker just because of the eggs lol. It even works on eggs laid that morning. Anyway, love your channel, thanks.
Instant pot! The only way to hard boil eggs! 5, 5, 5 method works great! 5 minute cook, 5 minute natural release, and 5 min ice bath or more. I am at 5,000 feet so times can vary for different altitudes?
I've never heard anybody mention specifically Redmond Real Salt before! The owners were neighbors next to my grandparents and I went to school with their kids. Incredible, generous, and kind caring people. We love our Redmond salt!
And it doesn’t contain additives or toxins. That’s why I buy it and it taste great. My doctor said I was low on sodium and most people are because they’ve been told not to eat it.
My Grandmother used to pickle eggs and fresh beets together. They eggs came out a purple color but they were delicious and the pickled beets were amazing too. My mother and sisters still do them this way. Adding the hot pepper to that mix would be awesome!
Are any of y’all from western PA by any chance? My family from PA makes them this way, soooooo yummy!! I wonder if adding onions would change the flavor too much. I love pickled onions.
This is how my father preserved eggs. He never did the water glassing. The video she did on that process was interesting. I never knew of it. But this, my father did. We always had a huge jar of pickled eggs. Maybe he pickled them because we only had store bought eggs and she said in the water glassing video to not water glass store bought eggs. We always just ate the pickled eggs straight out of the jar. We meaning myself and my father. My mom and brother did not like them. It was a special treat when my dad pulled out the jar and we sat together eating them. My dad was a child in the 30's and his people were dirt poor but they knew how to stretch what food they did have. It is nice to see some young people today learning and practicing old techniques. These are skills we should never let die out and a big thankyou to these people for sharing what they have learned. Sometimes just a little knowledge can make a huge difference.
I'm trying to water glass some. I watched a lot of videos so I hope it works. I only have 5 chickens so it took a couple weeks to fill my jar with fresh eggs. So we'll see what happens.
Sister, You are taking very good care of your family. You are amazing and your husband, my hat is off to him also. I wish we had the internet 30 years ago when I was young.
Same here! My children(all 5 of them!)were born every even year starting with 1990🙂 we lived this kind of lifestyle but I did it with little prior knowledge and no internet~sometimes things worked ,sometimes they definitely didn't~!!😂🤣😂
I just recently tried pickling eggs. I never thought it would be something I would like. A friend told me I had to try putting hard boiled eggs into dill pickle juice after the pickles were gone, I was skeptical, but tried it. They were amazing! And now with this recipe, which looks wonderful, I am going to try it for sure! Thankyou!!
I love this recipe. I also love adding beets to mine. I have found in my 40 years of peeling hard boiled eggs, that cooling them in a cold bath & refrigerate over night...makes them peel like magic. And the added bonus of using week old eggs is a plus. Another quick tip, that helps is to also run cold water over the eggs as you peel them...the colder the better. It works best on the week old eggs.
Thank you for all the information that you flood us with. I could never get my wife on board with canning and food preservation. I do it because I believe we should all have supplies prepared for emergencies or disasters and to create food storage that helps to save money when shopping. I have learned a few tricks from you that I didn't know before, so I appreciate you very, very much; especially on the egg preserving technologies. Thanks, and keep it up!!!
I think everyone should have at least a working knowledge on how to preserve their food, but then again I believe our children should have mandatory 1 year in the armed forces to learn discipline and how to protect themselves after they graduate. But that's just me.
Great video have one tip for peeling eggs easy I do it for small quail eggs. If you fill a jar half way with water puta bunch of eggs in there cap it and smash them around then open it and peel away. They fall right off with no damage to the eggs at all.
Two comments from a almost 60 Y/O egg eater :) 1) Time: I put the eggs into a pot of warm water (prevents cracking), then put that on the stove on HIGH and immediately set the timer for 20 minutes. As soon as you get a rolling boil drop the temp to just above medium (prevents boilover). The eggs are always perfect! 2) Peeling: Boiled eggs, according to the FDA, will supposedly only last a week, peeled or unpeeled, so why wouldn't you just peel them right away? When you pull the eggs after step 1, drain off most of the hot water (I run cold water in the sink and slowly let the hot water mix with it), then immediately start running cold water into the pot. As soon as you can handle the eggs without hurting yourself, about 30 seconds, start pulling and peeling. One knock on my forehead with the egg and two or three pulls and a quick rinse in the water and walla, no more shell, and a perfect egg every time. Yes I know this is a very late comment on a 5 year old video, but hey, it never hurts to put out useful info right!
I recently tried your method and found it works much better than the 'traditional' boil/cold water cool-down, especially with fresher eggs - store bought eggs should be at least 2 weeks old so check the date!
I always add about 1/2 tsp of salt to my water and my eggs usually peel extremely well. Love your videos. I do not preserve food anymore since it’s just me my family is grown but you follow the tried and true old methods. Great job teaching the young
I really like how you said you could have put some more eggs in if you had them. But you showed you can just go with what you have, and not worrying about being too precise.
Please do a video on canning these to store for longer times. Our country store used to have them for sale. We have chickens and I would love to put some in pantry shelf. Love your videos.
I believe, and don't quote me, but some are WB canning quart jars of pickled eggs for 15 minutes to make them shelf stable. Some ppl won't let them stay on shelf more than 6 months, their preference, and some will eat them up to a year later with no problems.
Thank you so much for teaching me this, i collected my fresh eggs waited a week on the counter boiled them for 15 min and they peeled perfectly. I have now pickled them and will do more.
I love your ideas on preserving and canning. I had never heard of water glassing eggs before. I have made the pickled refrigerator eggs before but I have put in sliced jalapenos. Yummy! I wish I had found your Homesteading Family a long time ago.
I love whatever you have to teach us. I followed your directions for waterglassing, and the eggs lasted 2 years! My sister thought I was nuts. Lol. Can’t wait to do the pickling recipe!! Thanks so much!
I just read that the yolk has a different pH than the white, and that’s why it’s critical to not use eggs that have exposed yolk. I was glad to read that! Love your video and lovely kitchen! ❤️
I had never pickled eggs before till this video, now I am not a fan of pickled eggs, but my son and his family Love them, they always bought beet pickled eggs , but no longer. even my 2 year old granddaughter loves them. Thank you Caroline :)
I haven't done this for years, but I used to save the brine that was left over after eating my homemade dill pickles and use that to pickle eggs. I made small batches and they got eaten fairly quickly, I often had to keep people from eating them before they got pickled.
I think your spot on about letting the eggs stand for a week before boiling them ,this is the only way I've found to ensure they peel easily , I too have tried every combination of boiling ,chilling etc etc , I noticed one day that store bought eggs that are always a week or two old seem to always peel easy , it was the only conclusion I could come too , thanks for sharing I only just found your videos and they are fabulous
Dearest Caroline you are one awesome teacher I appreciate your videos. I’m new to the counting world and I haven’t played your video with preserving eggs in the hydrated lime. Took me a couple of weeks together about 25 dozen but I found them And now they are preserving. Thank you so much sending many blessings!
You remind me of Felicity from Avonlea. And I just love all these preserving methods. I don't think my Grandma even did this with eggs when she was younger, but I plan on asking her. 😊
Thank you so much for your information. You're awesome! The best way, by the way, that I have learned to peel my eggs, is to roll them around on the counter and get them nicely cracked up and then the peel separates and comes right off.
I made a batch of perfect peeled hard boiled eggs. Steamed them for 13 minutes... Cold bath for 15 minutes... Then put them in a sealed container and shake shake shake to crumble the shells. Then they just peel right off. It's amazing for bulk peeling eggs for pickling.
Sounds so good. I love your channel. One thing though - you want everything clean but sanitizing everything isn’t necessarily needed. The vinegar will kill any germs. That is the reason it makes a great cleaning agent.
Barbara Bergstrom .Barbara Bergstrom ....”The people want to know: is vinegar a disinfectant? And does vinegar kill viruses? Well, technically.” This can be found on the following link that you are more than welcome to read - www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/is-vinegar-disinfectant-coronavirus. I would not say it if I had not already researched it.

I used your recipe to make mine first batch of pickled eggs. We added a small handful of dehydrated banana peppers & sliced fresh onion rings & a little dried dill. We made 1/2 gallon size & using for egg sald sanwiches❤️❤️❤️
So glad I found your channel! We just moved and we have started a little homestead. We have 20 chickens and I wondered about the excess amounts of eggs. Can't wait to try this and water glassing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video! I think our altitude and water ph plays a part in every recipe. baking and cooking, preserving foods. It is great to have a base point. Thank you sister.
When using turmeric, always mix in some black pepper. Turmeric is almost magical with health properties. Adding the black pepper makes it more bioavailable.
Tumeric and black pepper work together .I made a tea that anytime I feel any illness I sip 3x'sday (garlic tumeric black pepper ,ginger!!honey)green tea.make it in jar and save for Anytime.AMAZING!!(NOPE I DID NOT GET THE VACCINE)just saying...BLESSINGS 🙏💖
Imagine, it’s 2020 and people are losing their mind over a Pandemic, had we only paid attention aka hand in cookie jar, a HUGE red flag. We should look at what Singapore has done for their country. it’s outstanding in my book. Thank you so much for doing an outstanding job of teaching us, it’s back to basics.
Just found your channel and I’m loving it , I’m have 3 allotments and am hoping this year to do lots of preserving , I’m 55 years old and my young son recently told me how to peel boiled eggs perfectly ! 😳 omg it actually works 100% every time , I couldn’t believe it , so when egg is boiled and can do this straight away from hot , tap the egg all over so it cracked and then put into a container of cold water for just a few seconds and peel away perfect every time 🤪😍yayyy
Thanks for the great video. I have 11 chickens and often get 11 eggs in a single day. As you can imagine my eggs are always fresh which should make them hard to peel. Here is what I do to get nice smooth shelled eggs. First if the eggs have been refrigerated I let them come to room temperature. I bring a pan of water to a rolling boil and add the eggs. I boil them for 14 minutes followed by putting them in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes. They always peel easily.
Dropping the eggs into the water after it has come to a boil then cold water when done, has always worked for me in getting the shells off easy,. :) Love your videos, thank you! :) great recipes
In the 1800s they pickled their eggs in Malt Vinegar. They say, boiling the water, and putting the fresh eggs in the boiling water, wait 10 or 15 minutes, then put the pot back on the burner to boil for another 1o or 15 minutes, and the eggs will peel with no problems. Great video. Thank you (Wado) !
You can also: after boiling them while still hot pour the water off then shack the pan with eggs in the pan.. and the shell will peel right off... I love your Videos thank you so much. I'm going to try this, this week.. yummy!!!
Thank you so much for your channel. I began with your egg water glassing video, which is a game changer! I’ve just tried pickled eggs and can hardly wait the two weeks to try them! However, I’m wondering how to can them so I don’t have to take up space in the refrigerator. If you made a video, I can’t find it. Please let me know. Thanks again, Carolyn! You’re doing amazing work!!
+Jessica Compton - To better peel them, right? No I haven't... I would imagine that would work great. A viewer suggested vinegar in the boiling water and that has worked surprisingly well...
@@HomesteadingFamily Iď love the book idea...been watching & trying lots things. Just made "Pineapple Chutney", from Nourishing Traditions book. Love your channel. Thank you!
This is fantastic! I looked long and hard for a pickled eggs recipe that didn't call for sugar or pickling spices, and then I found your video. AND, we can can them! Yay! One question, though: what is your elevation? We are at about 5,500 feet.
Wow, amazing! I didn't realize they could last as long as that. I'm definitely going to do this. ACV is part of my daily diet so this will fit in with my Keto lifestyle and preservation mindset. Many thanks! 😎👍🏻
When I have eggs tearing up when I try to peel them, I lightly crack the shells (after they're done boiling and cooling, of course) by smacking and rolling them on the counter, then throwing them back in a big bowl of water for a few minutes. The water goes in through the cracks and loosens the shell really well.
My hubby loves pickled eggs. Last year we got our first flock of chickens. Since then we have gotten so many eggs that sometimes we have a whole refridgerator full! We pickle lots of eggs
You mentioned canning also...I didn't know you could can pickled eggs. Do people do that? and Could you talk about that in another video? You have so much knowledge. thank you so much.
This is my dream to have a homestead that produces food for my kids my wife and me. Just enough to where we wouldn't even need to go to the grocery store for hardly anything.
WISE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REMEMBER TO APPRECIATE,LIFE ,......EMBRACE IT AND EACH OTHER ONE PEOPLE ONE PLANET ALL LIVING SPECIES.TOGETHER ..THANKYOU 💖💕💕
What about canning for unrefrigerated eggs. Water-bath or pressure and how long. Love your channel, all your recipes are great. Take care and stay safe, thanks so much
The best way I have found to get the shells off is to as soon as they are finished boiling drain off the hot water use a spoon or other object to crack the shell and fill it back with cold and leave it running to keep it cold as you peel them I have had excellent luck with this method give it a try
The only thing I have found to make very fresh eggs peel easily is my instapot. I pressurized a dozen this morning for 4 minutes then natural release for 4 minutes then put in cool water. I literally had two that were peeled when I opened the top. So simple and really works!
This is the first instance, in all my years, where I've ever heard anyone refer to a 1/2 Gallon Ball Jar as a "2 Quart Jar". Tomato ... Tomatoe .... lol. Thanks for the demonstration and another recipe for me to try.
Yes, Instant Pot! Lots of times the shell comes off 1/2 at a time. Ageing method probably OK for fresh eggs from your chickens, but store bought ones need to be kept refrigerated since they have been washed.
Thanks for explaining how to can eggs. I have been looking on how to can them but found nothing on canning only what you put in jars and in frig. I have seen gal jars of can pickled eggs at Sam Clubs so I know it can be done. Thanks for all your in put. I just found your channel and love the videos.
I heard that adding a little *baking soda* to the water that you're going to boil eggs in will help fresh eggs to peel easier. I haven't tried it yet, tho.
If you haven't tried this 100% peel good method - - fully boil the eggs, gently crack them while piping hot, as in bash them inside the pot so you don't have to touch them and burn your fingers, after they are cracked good and still piping hot but not peeled, then run them under ice cold water, or dunk them into a bowl of ice water. Then each egg will peel easy, the peels about fall off the egg. I've been doing this with fresh eggs, duck eggs and turkey eggs for a long time, but I've never done more than one or two dozen, and I have good cold running water. A bowl of cold water will warm up if you try to dunk 3 dozen hot eggs all at once. The dunk has to be cold.
Yes!!!! I've done it like this forever. My no fail method... boil them in plain water and when you remove them from the stove bring to sink. have a deep bowl or pan with the coldest water your faucet will give you.. place 2 hot boiled eggs in cold water and wait a few seconds for the egg to contract inside then crack and peel. Everytime you take one out of the cold water add a hot one, take older out and peel while the other cools down. keep this process going til your done. add more cold water as needed because it will warm up. the reason is the egg expands with heat and will shrink away from the shell with the cold water. Try it.
The best way I have found to peel hard boiled eggs is to cook them in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes, rest in the pot 5 minutes then soak in cold water for 5 minutes. Perfect peel, no broken eggs or big gouges in them.
Love this recipe and definitely use Redmond's RealSalt! We eat lots of pickled eggs and easy-peel eggs can be consistently made in a Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot, if you have one. Lots of directions and videos online, but basically, you put 1 cup hot tap water in the bottom (this brings the pot to pressure quicker), put in eggs on a rack (takes 7 eggs) or a basket (if you are doing loads), bring the pot to pressure. Then time 4 or 5 minutes at pressure, natural release for 4 or 5 minutes, then quick release and plunge into ice cold water for another 4 or 5 minutes. (Timings depend on size of eggs; I do Large eggs for 4 min each step.) Then peel immediately you take them out of the ice water. 99% of the time (well, nothing's perfect! ;-) the peel will come right off. So easy and ready to go into the pickling bath right away.
What else could you use to pickle? If you were to leave them in the fridge raider? For example cauliflower? How long would that last in the fridge raider if you use that method, thank you all your recipes are so wonderful , God bless all of you🙏😘💗 Linda from Connecticut
I came across a great trick for getting perfectly peeled boiled eggs. It works every time I do it. Once the eggs are boiled, pour out as much hot water as possible, add cold water and baking soda. Let the eggs sit in this for a while until they are cool. That's it! They are ready to peel.
