Chef’s Clever Hack for Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs 🍳✨
Peeling hard-boiled eggs can be a frustrating task 😩. While they’re a nutritious and versatile option, the shell often sticks stubbornly to the egg white, turning a simple job into a messy ordeal. But don’t worry—French celebrity chef Jacques Pépin has a brilliant trick that will change the way you cook forever!
🥚 The Problem with Hard-Boiled Eggs
We’ve all been there—trying to peel an egg only to end up with torn whites and bits of shell stuck everywhere. This happens because of the air pocket inside the egg, which creates pressure during boiling and causes the shell to cling tightly.
💡 Jacques Pépin’s Genius Solution
The secret? Poke a tiny hole in the broad end of the eggshell before boiling it. That’s it! This little trick allows the trapped air to escape, making the egg much easier to peel once cooked.
🛠 What You Need

A pin or thumbtack

Gently pierce the broad end of the egg (the wider side where the air pocket is located) with your pin. Be careful to only create a small hole—just enough for the air to escape without cracking the shell.
