I don't know why one brand would be easier to peel than another, but I have noticed that fresh eggs are hard to peel. If I'm going to hard-boil eggs, I use my oldest ones, and add salt to the water. We eat the freshest ones raw if possible. Aven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
