"It is computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end [...] Neither are any wars so furious and bloody, or of so long continuance as those occasioned by difference in opinion, especially if it be in things indifferent."
StokeySue wrote:Raw I break like aero on the edge of a cup or small bowl, as near the middle as possible, then the egg just flows out of each half. Sometimes I use the edge of a pan or bowl or tap with a knife or the spatula if frying the egg.
Soft boiled eggs I usually decapitate with a knife then spoon out the contents into my mouth
Hard boiled I crack gently all over by rolling, then peel from the broad end as it's easier to start with the air pocket
I never feel any need to encourage the white out with a spoon handle though, for any type of egg

Although i can buy them ready peeled in our supermarket I might buy some shell-on ones this week to try because they are indeed a pain.

I once decided to do some quail eggs for a 31st party, and bought 4 dozen. They took almost two hours to peel and looked awful![]()

1. Break all the eggs into a bowl.
2. Use an empty plastic drinks bottle. Squeeze it and use it to suck the yolks out of the bowl. One at a time.
Works a treat!

According to TKC put the boiled quail eggs in white vinegar for 8 to 10 mins and the shells will slide off easily. The vinegar dissolves the shell and they don't taste of vinegar we were told.
