Putting Eggs Off – Helpful or Even Harmful?

Quench boiled eggs – does that help?

• Once you’ve cooked the perfect egg, all you have to do is peel it. To make this easier, the eggs are often quenched.
• Unfortunately, quenching has no effect on peeling at all. Only age plays a role here. Fresh eggs are much more difficult to peel than an egg that is already a week old.

Are quenched eggs harmful?
