WHY ARE SOME HARD COOKED EGGS DIFFICULT TO PEEL?
They are too fresh. Fresh eggs may be very difficult to peel after they are boiled. Those eggs that have been kept in the refrigerator for a week to 10 days before cooking will usually peel more easily. Hard boiled eggs are usually good for up to one week AFTER they have been hard boiled, provided they are still in the shell and have been kept refrigerated. CAN EGGS BE FROZEN? Yes, but NOT in their shells. Hardcooked eggs will have tough whites. The best answer I have heard on freezing eggs is to do this: Break however many eggs you want to freeze into a bowl and mix together. Pour egg mix into plastic ice cube trays and freeze overnight. The next morning, transfer to freezer baggies. 2 frozen egg cubes equals 1 egg. Always thaw the egg in the refrigerator before using. Wash out the ice cube tray with hot soapy water after having the raw egg in it. WHAT ARE THE STRINGY WHITE PIECES IN EGG WHITES? These rope-like strands of egg white, called chalazae (ka-LAY-zee), are not imperfections
