Hey everyone!
Today, I’m here to share a little tip that will make your life much easier the next time you’re boiling eggs. Do you ever find it difficult and frustrating to peel boiled eggs? Well, worry no more! Here’s how you can get boiled eggs to peel easily:
1. Start by using older eggs – they are generally easier to peel than fresher ones. If possible, buy them at least a week before your planned meal, so they have had some time in the fridge and their shells become thinner over time.
2. When boiling the egg, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda or salt into the water for every 4–6 cups of water used (if not specified on packaging). This helps break down proteins, which makes peeling easier once cooled off after cooking is done.
3. Once finished cooking, immediately transfer cooked egg(s) into an ice bath for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle with bare hands safely without burning yourself. This helps separate shell from membrane inside, making it simpler when trying to remove later on!
And there we go – easy steps that will help ensure perfectly peeled boiled eggs every single time!
Plus tip: What is the fastest way to peel hard-boiled eggs without tearing them?
This egg-peeling trick is a great way to easily peel hard-boiled eggs! Submerging the egg underwater in a bowl allows for an easy removal of its shell.
Start by tapping the egg gently but firmly against a hard surface like a countertop or cutting board until you create small cracks in its shell. Then submerge your egg into cold water for about 30 seconds – this will help loosen up the shell from the white part of your egg. Finally, use your fingers to peel off each section of shell underwater, starting from the larger rounder end of the egg, and voila! You have peeled an entire hard-boiled egg in no time at all! It’s definitely worth giving this method a try if you’re looking for an effortless way to enjoy your favorite snacks!
