If you’ve ever peeled hard-boiled eggs, you’ve probably encountered a stubborn egg that didn’t want to peel. There are many tips for peeling hard-boiled eggs more easily! Here are a few that I was able to test:
- Try not to use the freshest eggs. These don’t chip as easily.
- After cooking, let the eggs cool completely before peeling them. This should prevent the eggs from flaking, but if that doesn’t work straight away, crack your cooled egg and return it to very cold, or even ice, water.
- The water seeps under the shell where you broke it and makes it easier to peel after about five minutes!
