So many eggs!
My chooks seem to have gone into over drive! Remembering that eggs this fresh don't peel too well when hard boiled - does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with them? I don't think we can face another frittata!

Re: So many eggs!
I worked out how to peel fresh boiled eggs - crack them gently in various places and put them in between your palms and roll them, with just a little bit of pressure then peel them gently. It seems to separate the membrane from the main portion of the egg, when you peel, just ensure you are peeling off that membrane, rather than the shell.

Re: So many eggs!
I always ensure I've got some old eggs for hard boiling! But it's been a while since I had a glut of hen eggs.

Re: So many eggs!
I've just had a look at the chinese eggs - they look fab!
Since I posted I've managed to learn how to make quiche
so that's lots of them used up. Sadly none of my friends actually grow stuff to eat so swapping is out! But I did give some to friends at work and they loved them
