Title: How to 'Peel' Hard-Boiled Eggs Without Peeling

Hard-boiled eggs can be annoying and time consuming to peel. In this video, master of time management Tim Ferris (author of the great book, The Four Hour Work Week), demonstrates how easy it is to get the egg without having to peel it!

Okay, I'm definitely going to have to try that. Sometimes they peel so easily for me and other times I chuck the egg because it comes off one miniscule piece at a time. It's frustrating!

I just tried it.  The egg lit up a cigarette.

Twelve minutes for a hard-boiled egg?

I think I'll deal with the crumbly shell.

Yeah....  But's a low boil.

I crack the shell all over, then peel it off while trying to keep the "skin" underneath as intact as possible.  I can usually keep most of the shell and "skin" together

All boiling is basically 212 degrees.  If the water gets hotter, it turns into steam.  In a furious boil, the steam bubbles would be significantly hotter than 212 and might be coming thick and fast enough to impact the food being cooked, but slow or fast is very close to the same water temp. either way.

the freshness of the egg determines how easy the shell peels off.
