Peeling boiled eggs is my least favorite chore in the kitchen. I don't like to get the egg shells under my nails. A friend taught me a neat trick several years ago. He didn't have any nails to lift the shells. I suppose this is a tip for both women and men!
- Drain the boiling water from the pot of eggs.
- Refill the pot with cold tap water.
- Allow the eggs to cool until they are easy to handle.
- Use the back side of a teaspoon to firmly tap the entire egg until all sides have been thoroughly cracked.
- Find a spot on the eggs shell that will allow you to slip the edge of the spoon under it.
- Slide the edge of the spoon under the egg shell so that the spoon cups the white of the egg.
- Push the spoon with a scooping motion.
- The egg shell should lift away from the egg in large pieces attached to the thin membrane that lines the inside of the egg as you move the spoon.
- Finally, you have a nice smooth egg.
