Good for everyone: 10 ways to peel an egg quickly and easily

Use slightly older eggs

While it may seem otherwise, older eggs are easier to peel than fresh ones, which peel extremely poorly. If you buy eggs from a supermarket, they may be older. But if you buy them at a farmers market or directly from a farmer, ask how fresh they are. If they are extremely fresh, shake them in your refrigerator for a week before cooking dishes that will need beautiful shapes.

Keep in cold water

After cooking the buckets, cool them to room temperature, submerge them completely in cold water and keep them in the refrigerator for about an hour, and if you are preparing meals the next day, leave them in the water overnight in the refrigerator.

The effect of boiling water for a long time.

Boil water in a pot and gently lower the eggs. Cook on extremely high heat for 30 seconds. Then reduce the heat, cover the lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Use a glass

Fill a glass with water and put an egg in it. The water should be about a third of a glass. Cover the glass with your hand or lid and shake vigorously. The shell will simply fall off and you will have a perfectly peeled egg.

Shake the eggs in a saucepan.

Once the eggs are cooked, drain the hot water immediately, leaving the eggs in the pot. Then shake gently to break the shells easily. Add very cold water immediately. To serve hot, well-peeled eggs, you will need to wait about five minutes, cold – about 15 minutes.

Peel under running water.

Once the eggs have boiled, drain the water. Place the pot under a stream of cold water and when the eggs have barely cooled, peel them directly under the stream of water.

Use a spoon

Peel an eggshell about a quarter size, insert a teaspoon between the shell and the egg. Next, twist the spoon around the egg, letting it go down and down until the shell breaks loose and falls off.

Blow the egg

Break off the blunt end of the egg, peel it a little. Do the same with the other end of the egg. Then take the egg in your hand, place it close to your mouth and blow vigorously until the egg comes out of the shell that surrounds it. Just be careful not to drop the egg where it is not needed.

Roll the egg on the table top.

Place the boiled egg on the counter. Grind it up and roll it over the surface by pressing it gently with the palm of your hand. Many small cracks will form in the shell, making it easier to peel the egg.

Dip under water and smash

This peeling technique begins by filling the container with room temperature water. Take one egg at a time and dip it in a bowl under water. Then squash its shell on the bottom or side of the bowl and it will easily slide off the egg.
