Has anyone seen this egg peeling trick?? Gotta try it

That is similar to how those egg peeling gadgets worked

that were "as seen on TV" a few years ago. We found one on a clearance rack for $2 and bought it. It worked great on the first egg, good on the second, ok on the third and not at all after that.

The idea was to plunge (or blow) it out of the shell. The accordian style plunger was cheep plastic. It no longer had an effective seal after the first few eggs.

$2 right down the drain.

 
steam cook your eggs. They peel great, even farm fresh eggs...

just Google "hard steamed eggs" to get the details. Fun way to do it.

 
I've watched it 3 times now, and can't understand him... when does he say to add the baking soda?

When you add which water, the cooking water or the cooking water?!

 
In case U missed seeing, the enclosed instructions were printed underneath the video==>

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!

Instructions:

1. Cover the eggs with water and boil on low for about 12 minutes
2. Cool the eggs by placing them in cold water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and ice. The baking soda raises the pH level and reduces adherence. If you choose not to use baking soda, be sure to move the eggs into cold water with plenty of ice immediately after boiling
3. Crack the top of the egg and remove a small piece
4. Crack the bottom (wide end) of the egg and remove a small piece
5. Hold the egg in your hand and blow vigorously into the narrow end of the egg, which will expel it out the wide end

Doesn’t get much easier than that! Just be ready to catch it when it comes out…

cheezz, I take it you've never worked in a public restaurant, have you? LOL! U'd

die if you only knew what goes on in the kitchen when you eat out! Birthday cake and blown-out eggs are NOTHING. Trust me on this. Smile.

 
I don't know where you've worked, wigs, but DN tells us you can eat off the floor in the

kitchens he's worked in. If anything or anyone is the least bit suspect- out they go.

 
I have seen some doozies...

There was on place in London where the waiter came into the kitchen and wanted to slice the table bread on the board I was prepping raw bacon on... I worked there 4 hours

Then there was the place where the smoking area was in the potato/onion storage room, I worked there 2 days

And the place that didn't care if the chefs came to work already in their uniforms, I worked there one week..

What I can say, is that it's generally not that easy to "do" stuff to food, there are lots of other people around you and it would be very obvious, everyone would have to be in on it and that would be difficult...

Now, the stuff that chefs do to each other in the kitchen, that's another story all together, but it never crosses the lines into the customer food!

 
that does it - I'm NEVER eating out in Australia and wigs... I want a list of those restaurants!!
