By using the vinegar method (cover freshly boiled eggs in shell with white vinegar and let sit for an hour)for peeling I have used the same day eggs and they peel like a dream, and to keep the yolks in the center of the eggs when boiling them, stir them once in a while when cooking and the yolks will be in the center of the egg. I also add a bit of salt to my water when boiling the eggs. Also if you have to save up your eggs for a couple of days if you will move them, on a daily basis the yolk will not settle either. Me I just kind of roll the eggs by placing my hands on top of them and use sort of a rolling method. Works great.

Eggs you boil and peel need to be at least five days old and not any older than 21 days old. A too fresh egg will not peel as the shell won't come loose from the egg. And, an old egg will have the yolk showing through where it's lost moisture and yolk has settled to the bottom. Donna

Thanks...this explains why when we get eggs from the egg lady (until we get our chickens next spring) they won't peel well when we boil them. Hubby thinks there's something wrong because the ones from the store peel really easy. I told him it's cause they're old.

Isn't that sad though about storebought eggs? Well, my mother says fresh eggs I gave her boiled and peeled just fine. I think she was just fortunate though!! Elaine
