Peeling Boiled Eggs

[CJRebus]

Why is it that sometimes a cold, hard-boiled egg will peel perfectly, but other times bits of the egg white come away with the shell, even though the eggs have been boiled and cooled together?

Eggs are a natural product and there may be some individual variation ....as it usually says somewhere.

The freshness makes a lot of difference - the fresher the egg, the easier it peels

[EDDIE51]

hc4361^^ that's the wrong way round. Very fresh eggs are harder to peel, ones a week or so old peel better.

Definitely the fresher the egg the harder it is to peel.
