Why you should make hard boiled eggs in oven.
Because peeling sucks – Eggs, in general, are a big staple in our house. From adding to salads like this hot girl summer salad recipe to simply eating a flavorful egg salad sandwich, eggs are never far away. Having a quick way to make a big batch without the hassle of delicately peeling pesky shells is a kitchen wonder.
Big batch – This oven method is a fantastic way to make a big batch of eggs without stovetop boiling or pressure cooking boiled eggs. This crack-and-add-to-a-pan method allows you to cook many eggs at once where the process doesn’t need to be babysat. Note: This sheet pan egg recipe may also be helpful.
Meal Prep – Although eggs are used in many recipe staples, they are also used often in meal prep. Being able to batch-make and get eggs ready all at once is a great trick.
Did this TikTok Recipe work?
Yep! But it took us a bit longer to cook our eggs in the oven than the original recipe, as noted below.
Making oven eggs without the shells worked fine and is one of our favorite kitchen hacks. Our only note is that the eggs stuck in the pan a little more than I would have liked, and I had to scrub it to wash it, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Eggs stick.
I am glad I just get to avoid that whole ice water bath thing!
Where did no peel eggs come from?
This no peel boiled egg hack that produces a creamy egg yolk is from TikTok Creator and user @JaimeFielding. You can see all her nutrition tips on her channel. See the full “no peel eggs” video below!
Ingredients:
- vegetable oil
- 8 eggs – Egg sizes shouldn’t vary this recipe too much in the oven method.
- water
How to make No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350 and spread a small amount of vegetable oil (about a teaspoon) into the bottom of a loaf pan. Use a pastry brush to coat the bottom and sides of the pan with vegetable oil.
- Crack eight eggs in the pan and place the loaf pan with cracked eggs into a 9×13 baking dish.
- Fill the large 9 x13 baking dish 2/3rds full of cold water. This means your egg pan is sitting inside the pan with water.
- Place the pan on the oven rack and bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs are hard-boiled to the texture of your liking.
- Let stand for 5 minutes to let the eggs cool before using a spatula to loosen the edge and remove the egg loaf from the pan. Chop eggs as desired.

Crush up eggshells and add to the garden!

Excellent 🤗 recipe! I give it 5 stars.No peeling ,easy peesie.Loved it will make it again.Infact right now .Thanks so much!!!!💓
That is a complete waste of time!
Small pyrex ramekins, and STEAM them on the stove.
I am not sure why its a waste of time. Small ramekins and steam them? That’s not much different than just hard boiling eggs in water. For many people, being able to crack 6-10 eggs and cook at one time is a time saver for salads and to enjoy boiled eggs without shells easily. While there are a lot of ways to boil an egg (or really do any recipe) its not really a comparison to suggest steamed ramekins and an oven baked hard boiled no shell egg recipe.
This is for large batches. Vs one egg at a time. Dont be negative because this isn’t your favorite way to do it. There is nothing wrong with the recipe
Love not having to peel hard boiled eggs!! I used a glass loaf pan and had minimal eggs sticking to the bottom. My number one go to now for hard boiled eggs. Thank you!
Any tips on saving any extra eggs in the fridge? How about freezing the finished eggs?
You CAN freeze boiled eggs, but I would not recommend it. They get watery and wierd textured when unfrozen. As far as saving, the shell protects eggs longer so without a shell, its on borrowed time. You need to place in an airtight container and consume within a week.
If I don’t have a loaf pan, but don’t want to do more than 8 eggs, can I use a different type pan? Round cake pan or something? I really want to try this but don’t want to buy a loaf pan if I don’t have to. Thank you!
Hi Candy, honestly I have not tried it in another pan but understand not wanting to purchase another one. I dont imagine it would be much different in a round pan as long as you keep the depth about the same. You may have to monitor the time depending on the size of your pan.
Cooked eggs 40 minutes and still not as hard boiled as I like. If try this again will to have to cook longer. I thought as they sat in the warm water to cool down they might finish cooking. I did like the ease of not peeling the eggs though.
Thank you for your feedback Kathy! Yes, for sure ovens and pans all vary a little (and honestly the size of eggs too). Hopefully you find your timing on the consistency that is perfect for you.

Made this today for egg salad sandwiches and it was so much easier and faster! The only changes I made was to use parchment paper instead of spraying with non stick spray and I cooked 5 minutes longer for a more cooked egg yolk. I just grabbed paper after I left it to sit in pan for 5 minutes and flipped it on a cutting board and pulled off paper. Easy clean!!!
Oooh, love the parchment paper idea!! Thanks for the suggestion, Ill give that a shot!
Trisha
Can this be done in the microwave?
In theory yes…but it would take some testing.
Yes I will try this egg recipes
Loved the no peel aspect. Using my countertop oven it took less than 20 minutes to achieve hard eggs. I found the eggs to be a bit of a different texture. Sort of rubbery. I may try again. For now will bake in the shell in oven.
Yes, they would be a little different texture, but for chopping up with salads and stuff, I haven’t found it noticeable. I may not be sensitive to it, but some may be.
Now one thing I haven’t tried, but intend to and maybe you want to, is trying a piece of parchment on top to see if it still bakes correctly with a little more like a shell result.
I’ve tried every way possible to hard boil my fresh farm eggs (large batches) and still fought with peeling. This works perfectly and is my go to method!
Do you have an instant pot/electric pressure cooker? Hard boiled eggs cook in 5 minutes, slow pressure release for 5 minutes, cold water soak for 5 minutes. The shells peel very easily with no problems at all. Makes peeling a breeze. I use mine all the time.
Hi Barbara, I noticed you did the rounds with this suggestion on quite a few of my egg posts. First, thank you for visiting and for sharing alternative cooking egg methods. While yes, boiling eggs in your suggestion works fine that way for most (and I also have a version of that on the site as well), there are many people that have trouble boiling eggs and peeling. My mom for one – she has very serious arthritis in her fingers that has left her fingers curled. Peeling eggs for her can be complicated and time consuming, so having another way like this no peel boiled eggs is great for egg salads for her. There are a lot of ways to do the same thing and this particular recipe is for people that have a need.
Do not fill your 9 x 13 baking dish w/ water until you place it on the rack of the pre-heated oven. Then pour a small amount of water in the baking dish, place the loaf pan w/ raw eggs into the water bath so there’s water under the loaf pan and then pour in the rest of the water into the baking dish. No walking across a kitchen juggling a baking dish of water!
This has been my preferred method for quite some time now! I came on here to see if you do it any differently; I loved the post and have a suggestion! Place your eggs in a pitcher and fill it with water. Let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes, preheat the oven at some point during this time. Then, take your eggs out and keep the water to use it in the baking dish. The eggs and water are now at the same temp and will bake more evenly! 🙂 I fill my baking dish with the water after I’ve put it on the rack and place the loaf pan inside. I then cover the whole thing with foil and poke 2 steam holes. I’ve found that for my altitude (Sea level), 350F for 30 minutes results in the perfect texture and overall yolk doneness we prefer for Egg Salad.
Thankyou Nicole for the great suggestions and tips! I cant wait to try it your way too!
Yes it works! Never Peel An Egg Again!! The BEST time saving recipe! I even line the loaf pan with parchment paper and it works perfectly. I make 2 batches at once (separate pans) bake approx 35mins @350. I’m just sorry it took me so long to try. I have shared this recipe with many and everyone is so thankful, no more pesky eggshells! Thank you so much!!
Awesome, thankyou for such a kind comment!
