Mastering the Art of Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a versatile, nutritious snack and a staple in many recipes. However, peeling them can sometimes be a frustrating task, especially when the shell sticks to the egg white, leaving a pockmarked surface. Achieving perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs requires a combination of proper cooking, cooling, and peeling techniques. Follow this step-by-step guide to master the art of peeling hard-boiled eggs effortlessly.
