Chef’s Clever Hack for Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs

by

🔥 How to Cook

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

  2. Carefully lower the pierced eggs into the water.

  3. Boil them according to your preferred doneness.

  4. Cool them in an ice bath for easy handling.

When it’s time to peel, the shell practically slides off! 🙌

🌿 Why This Hack Works

By releasing the air before boiling, there’s no pressure to force the shell tightly against the egg white. This allows the egg to cook with a cleaner separation between shell and egg—making peeling quick and frustration-free.

  • Perfect for meal prep, salads, deviled eggs, and more 🥗
