Why do boiled eggs fall apart when I peel them?

Why do Easter Eggs fall apart after boiling? What can I do to stop them from falling apart when I peel them?

Answer #1

Hi,

That used to happen to me when I made hard boiled eggs. The shell would stick and the whole thing would fall apart when I tried to peel it.

To stop it from happening, after the eggs are done boiling, drop them into cold water for about 2-3 minutes. This will prevent the shell from sticking.

Good luck.

Answer #2

umm… i never really had that problem, but maybe… the egg isnt fully cooked through yet?

Answer #3

add a tablespoon of salt to the water you use to boil the eggs.
