Tips

  • Take eggs out of the fridge to take the initial chill off before boiling.
  • Gently lower each egg into the water with a metal spoon or ladle to prevent cracking.
  • Run eggs under cold water until not hot to handle, then leave them in cold water until cooled down.
  • Tear the inner membrane first before peeling the shell.
  • Use your thumb to slide under the shell and peel it off in one go.
  • For slicing cleanly, use a sharp knife with a thin blade and push straight down without sawing.
  • Steaming eggs for about 13 minutes then putting them in cold water can make them peel easily. (Viewer comment)
  • Adding a tablespoon or two of baking soda to the water while eggs boil can make them peel easily. (Viewer comment)
