Renowned Chef Shares Hack To Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a very simple food. You can cut them up and put them on fancy toast or in salads. You can make them into deviled eggs, which are like small, tasty snacks. Or, you can just eat them with salt, pepper, and maybe a little hot sauce.

Making hard-boiled eggs is easy. But, taking off the shells can be hard.

When the eggs are cool, and you start to peel them, it can get messy. The shells often stick to the egg, or they break into lots of tiny pieces. But, a simple trick from Lifehacker can make peeling eggs much easier.

Jacques Pépin, a famous French cook and TV star, has a simple way to peel hard-boiled eggs. He told Lifehacker that to peel eggs easily, you should make a small hole in the wide end of the egg before you boil it.

This means the egg will be easier to peel because the air inside the egg can escape. He says to use something small, like a pin, to make the hole, so you don’t break the shell.

This trick not only makes peeling easier, but it also makes the eggs look better. When the air escapes, the eggs come out round and smooth, not bumpy.

If you don’t have a pin, there are other ways to make peeling easier. For example, you can put the eggs in ice water after boiling them, or you can peel them under cold water. Both of these things should help the shells come off.
