Having trouble removing egg shell. Shell sticks to egg. Suggestions?
Put eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, cover remove from heat and let sit for 12 min. Pour off water, shake/crack shell a bit in pan, run cold water over eggs put in ice bath. Let sit for 4-5 min, remove and roll them gently on countertop to crack shell, peel under running water for best results. Eggs that are a couple weeks old work best for hard boiling.
One other thing is to make sure you are peeling the membrane off along with the shell, rather than just the shell.
Best advice on this I've had is use older eggs
As another commenter said, don't use eggs that are too fresh. We've been so committed to getting fresh foods in the recent years, we sometimes forget that fresh isn't always best. Hard boiled eggs is one of those times.
Another trick some people have suggested is poking a hole in the shell with a thumb tack before boiling. Yes, this works. Essentially, you're poaching the egg in the shell. However, you are compromising the shell, and therefore negating one of the best features of the hard boiled egg -- room temperature stability. So you can't use those "poked" eggs at a picnic, in a packed lunch, or on a road trip. They must be refrigerated, and they'll keep 2-3 days max. But if you're boiling eggs in the morning to use in the afternoon, go for it. Easy fix.
My best advice, honestly? Experiment with different producers. This was not a problem 20 years ago. Now it's an epidemic. Like milk, modern advances in product stability have come with some unfortunate side effects. There are some "brand" eggs that I've noticed will NEVER separate from their membranes, no matter what you do. Try some different brands, and make notes. If you make a lot of boiled eggs, it might even be worth your while to find a local producer on the way back from your supermarket, and add an "egg stop" to your shopping.
EDIT: And yes, as the first reply is telling you, the eggs must be COLD when you peel them. And yeah, peeling under cold running water will help with stubborn eggs. Lift as much of the shell as you safely can, then run your thumb under the edge, separating the membrane from the egg white. The membrane is the important part.
Salt cold water boil cook as desired rinse cold water put in bowl of ice water, cool. Then crack shell at round side and peel under cold water removing membrane.
Once you get it it’s really easy.
I've been cooking professionally 45 years, an executive chef for 30 years, and a culinary instructor for 20 years. Jacques Pepin is the epitome of professionalism and culinary excellence.
He's so excellent he uses metal utensils on nonstick coated cookware. Don't forget the black bits of sparkly cancer seasoning to finish it off!
Love Him
Thank you for that insight. I think he is fantastic. Humble. But a great teacher with heart. Kind regards, Alistair
@@bananafartmanmd8775You can do that when you only use the pan once for television purposes. You think they wash and reuse that stuff? They get it for free from the manufacturers.
l@@bananafartmanmd8775 I hope you'll link your page here fartman, so we can hear more of your healthy tips😂
"Classic french omelet is no better, it's just different". This is why I love Pepin. No pretentious bullshit, just great food.
I am watching this in 2023 and loving it. This man is a wonderful chef and an excellent teacher; and I could listen to him speaking all day! Very grateful!!!!
I have watched this man make eggs since my childhood in the late 80s and early 90s. He, Martin Yan, Julia Child, and the rest of the PBS chefs taught me to love cooking and inspired me to go to culinary school after high school. I am indebted to them. I've made my eggs the Pepin way for the last 30 years and Ill pass on the method, just as he did.
I have those same memories. Tv isn’t what it used to be. My baby falls asleep listening to Jacques
Cooking with passion and love. Watching people eat your food and loving it, not only are you serving food, you are also serving love on a plate. Cooking for my loved ones, friends, family, you name it, est excellant mon amie.
What kind of a clown uses a fork on non stick coated cookware lol
Love Jacques, but those scrambled eggs were way too runny, even done the French way! Served with mushrooms swimming in stock, that baked bread basket would be a sodden sponge in no time. He sadly flunked the carrot puree too, it was another wet mess because he didn't drain off any water before blending. Bit slapdash, this episode!
Let's not forget Mary Ann Esposito and Nick Stellino.👍🍷👩🍳👨🍳
Honestly, sometimes I don't even care what he's cooking. I just like hearing him talk.
The man who inspired me to learn to cook over 30 years ago, love you Jacques...
Me too, young newlywed learning how to clean a leek and still doing it the Pépin way👌
Same but about 10 years ago. Im 24
@@MrSlicktherick Watch every video from this Chef, you will be greatly rewarded. Theres an old video on knife skills that you should watch, even Anthony Bourdain defers to Jacques when it comes to Chef's knifes...
Same here. I'm ashamed to say that I took and kept his "La Methode" and "La Technique" from the public library in Austin, Texas. I shouldn't have kept them but they ignited my passion for cooking and still do.
same here
Man this guy knows his stuff
This man is an absolute master.
As a professional chef it is enjoyment watching Jacques cook; movements, speed, technique, recipes; man is a real deal as it gets, love this channel, pure gold!
You are not a professional chef.
This guy is my hero.
PERHAPS THE SUPERMAN OF FOOD
"No butter for you." "OK." Only Chef Pepin could deliver such disappointing news so charmingly. Why is it when I watch Chef Pepin cook eggs I feel as if I really could live on eggs alone ...
if he cooked nothing but pinto beans, they'd be so delicious you'd eat nothing but lol
You litteraly can live on eggs alone. And extremely healthily
J 1:20 jjj😅😅 1:37 😅jjj
bruv its literally an egg and spinach backed with cheese? 😢😮😢😂
@@rubentruddaiu5176 back it up...
Bake those beans
Don't eat the beans those, they are poison
The egg master for sure! I’ve learned a lot about cooking watching Pepin over the years. Definitely my favorite chef
I showed my mother this, she gagged at the runny yokes, hahah. To her a runny egg yoke is one of the most gross things to ever exist.
If I could cook with this simple elegance, I’d have never left the house! Maestro of Culinary Symphony!
Wow over a million views on this video, Jacques has made a lasting impression on American cuisine.
his influence is world-wide. he made haute cusine out of traditional French farmhouse recipies & that approach led others to take a more high-minded view of decidedly humble & rustic dishes
His secret ingredient is using metal on Teflon for extra seasoning.
This man is so knowledgable. I am learning so much.
Jacques Pepin is, indeed, exceptional.
Haven’t watched Jacques for a while .. what a treasure , man this guy is such a great teacher
Oh my LORD this is the most delicious looking food I've seen in ages!!! I love eggs as well!! 🌼🥚🌻🍳🏵🐔💛
JP is rapidly turning into my favourite on-line chef..! 👍🏻
I have watched him for many, many years. The ease of his cooking inspired me to try many recipes even if I thought I might fail. Best of all, though, was to not be afraid of cooking. His techniques, presentations, and relaxed attitude to cooking made me a better cook. So fortunate to have such a master mentor.
You have wasted many years, sorry for you, Egg :(
Every chef alive: if you want it to be really tasty, add as butter as you like
Two minutes and i already feel the incredible show
That classic French omelette always blows my mind 🤣
I've tried so many time to do it, never ever looks like that
I got it to work once and have been chasing that softness ever since. Was super good.
he makes culinary art out of anything: buttered toasted bread by him must be another dimension =/
the trick is to ruin your nonstick pan with the fork, once you master that skill it becomes easy.
His technique, use of flavours, and calmness. It's always a pleasure to watch and learn from his videos. So much experience distilled and shared with everyone. Thank you.
I made the last recipe at 23:00 ..... I added sliced mushrooms and 1 pat of butter, then the scramble eggs.
It was Wonderful!!
Yes Mr.Bacon, wonderful indeed
Superb. That little ramcan mould with the carrot purée looked exquisite. Geez the better cook you are the easier it looks to do from an outsiders perspective 👍🇦🇺🙏
Whenever I see Jacques cook, I immediately develop a huge appetite😀
Right! I could go for some gratin right now.
Precise, simple, and healthy. Bravo Chef
No matter what you do you make it look effortless. You inspire me. You are by far my favorite chef!
Damn, Jacques knows his way around eggs. Amazing skill displayed here completely nonchalant.
just by watching you know hes the master! simply brilliant.
He makes it look so easy. Great show.
An absolute master. Loving you for decades Chef.
I always come back to jaques pepin , when ever I don't know what to cook , for new ideas , and just to get inspired once again , I learned to eat lot of vegetables and fruits from his recipies ... ,glad to have such great teacher and mentor ... , love you 😍 ❤
One of the classic popular chefs,I watch everytime he pops up.
I love omelets, and these were making my mouth water. Thank you, Chef Jacques!!!!
The best egg series ever.
_Truly Beautiful Dishes🍳Anytime a picture or a video can make your mouth water…well, you know you can feel the love that went into it_
Absolutely amazing! Man, the way the master gives you the tiniest details. Like the way to hold the pan and how to remove the omelette from the pan. I would think it unimportant before but I appreciated those small things so much. Just shows how much he enjoys teaching. Merci mon cher!
Always new tips and tricks from Chef Jacques. Great reminders too! Thank you for so much detail in your lessons.
Chef Jacques is absolutely essential! Many thanks Chef!
Eggs (along with the utilization of various milk products) made is possible for the human species to flourish.
One of those rare foods (along with potato) that can be prepared in countless ways.
Sublime!
Never knew these techniques…i want to try cooking them all! My mouth is watering!
Such a refined cooking on just eggs. My passion of cooking has been ignited again 😀
Wow, this was like a culinary school class for eggs.
Pepin, absolute legend
I grew up watching Jacques on TV and he’s a huge part of why I love to cook today. I love the way he cooks two totally different omelets perfectly. So much experience and skill.
I never realized how yummy spinach is when cooked or stirred.
I could eat this every day! EVEN for breakfast!
You can really cook Pépin, with so much knowledge and inspiration. A real top chef, thank you for your cooking lessons🥚🧀🍗🥓🥗🥪🧆🍱🥞🧅🫒🥕
Whenever Pepin says "top".... DRINK! I luv him!
A great rundown on cooking eggs, another great episode! I'm gonna try these soon!
I feel like Jacques' videos need a PSA about forks and non-stick cookery...
VERY ASTUTE OBSERVATION
Man, I am INSPIRED by how sharp his knives are, lol. I just paid to get 6 of mine sharpened, and it was heaven...for a while, lol. I need to re-learn how to use a proper stone.
That metal fork scraping against the Teflon is brutal.
Any chance I get to see Chef making an omelet I have to watch. the master of eggs
ahaha the omelette, his claim to fame
Love your cooking Chef!
A pleasure to watch…. 👍
OMG scraping that fork on the non-stick surface runs shivers down my spine! wth!
You have been a Huge inspiration in my Cooking skills & Desire to cook Awesome Recipes on a daily basis. Been a fan since back in the 1980's when I was A teen. God Bless & thank you
I N E V E R get tired of his classics. Maestro!
Chef demonstrated the flat omelet in one of his recent Cooking at Home episodes. I made it for dinner, and my husband loved it.
Plus you can put some many different ingredients in a flat omelette otherwise known as a frittata.
Perfetto!!!
This is so sentimental for me……to watch this Frenchman cook on his videos. Such care….is taken to make tasty and pretty and inviting food. When I was 16 my mother and I watched all the (black n white shows on tv)….in the 60’s….with Mr. Pepin and Julia Child.
I now am 70….and it is a lovely delight to watch his somewhat recent shows here and on PBS sometimes. So grateful!!! Thk you!

"No butter for you". 😂😂😂
Easiest way to peel boiled eggs I've ever tried.
This man is a gem
‘…to boost your confidence’! What a star.
My neighbor has a lot of chickens farm fresh eggs are soo much better. Can't wait to try a couple of these recipes with them .😋
I love eggs so much. Sometimes I get a craving for eggs so I always have a box in my fridge. Yesterday I made a scramble with cheese, spring onion, tomato and chopped ham steak. It was brilliant on top of whole meal toast.
I always like to add cream cheese to my scrambled eggs. Also, be careful. If the eggs look done, they are overcooked.
Eggs, mushrooms, butter & bread to sop it up…what else do,you need?
As soon as he cut into the soft boiled eggs of first dish I let out an audible moan…. In my office. Whoops. 😅
A pleasure to watch this humble man
Wow, all of these dishes are just beautiful, thank you for the tip to put a pin hole in the egg.
M. Pépin vous êtes exceptionnel !! Merci !!!!
He’s amazing. Every time.
Genius. But easy to follow because he's an excellent instructor.
Wow... so I made the Mollet eggs florentine last night... absolutely delicious!! I am not what I would call a great cook- but I did follow everything he said, from the method of cooking the eggs- making the sauce... etc. It was amazing, and really not hard. I love the way he encourages people to cook and he really details the things that make the food turn out just perfectly. I love these videos.
Pepin, Smith, Floyd,....three musketeers who really educated me about food.
Is anyone else really impressed with his casual display of some serious knife skills?
Absolutely amazing 🍳
Thank you Jacques
What a wonderful chef
Watching Jacques cook food and eat it with one of his homies is very satisfying.
Jacques Pepin lives on in these videos ❤
i clapped when he flipped the french omelette, what a master
A work of art!
Wow... Chef Pepin got skills.... the pan skills at 18:46!😮😲 I am loving these videos. God Bless him.🥰
Wow!! Amazing what he can do with a simple egg!
Oh, I love your red hand blender!! It would be perfect in my vintage style red & white kitchen!!!
Everything looks delicious. Thank you for the learning experience. ❤
dishes fit for a King Thank you Jaques
Quel grand Chef! Merci!
Sir, you never fail to impress, thank you for all you do.
Wonderful egg recipes! Definitely going to do the potato one for dinner some night. Merci!
That was lovely, Eggs En Cocotte, I've never seen this before.
brillant and creative and straight forward.
I love that he says "if I had to choose one food" and then immediately says two things without even noticing. That's a man who loves food.
" yea i know you love gruyère"
*steals a cheeky look*
Oh my
