Quail egg peeler
Has anyone use a quail egg peeler, either manual or electric? If so, how did it go, and do you have any recommendations?

Re: Quail egg peeler
We've tried a few, including a DIY but we couldn't get the roller spacing quite right.
We couldn't justify the cost of an electric one, but we have purchased a manual one that works pretty well. There is definitely a knack to it though. There are steps to take that help the peeling process, such as after you've boiled the eggs, drain the water, add cool water to cover them, then put the lid on the pot and give the pot a good shake to break up the shell and allow the water to permeate between the shell and the egg membrane, then leave them in the pot for about 20 minutes. Leave them in the water until you're ready to put them on the rollers. That kind of thing. DH is the expert in that department, so I can ask him if he has other tips that I've missed. I'll also have to ask DH what brand we got. It was from Amazon.
