I know someone that has never had the luck of peeling a boiled egg smoothly and with ease. It’s either that the egg white is scratched or she gets the whole boiled egg bruised while struggling to peel (Don’t worry, I won’t mention your name).
All that egg peeling stress ended the day I introduced my friend to easy egg peeling techniques. She can’t stop thanking me.
If you always find it difficult too. Today we are going to learn how to peel boiled eggs perfectly without scratches and. You know, scratches are even better than when some of the gg white breaks and goes with the egg shells and you are left with tiny to eat. There are different ways of going around the boiled egg peeling thing and they all work just fine.
Let’s look at the easy steps to peel boiled eggs:
HOW TO PEEL BOILED EGG:
- After boiling, drain the hot water and soaked boiled eggs in iced water. This is magical. The peels come off in a hurry when you roll the egg on any surface.
- Drain the hot water, hit the eggs lightly to crack a bit, then leave in cold water for a few minutes. The shells come off easily.
- Add baking soda to the water.
- Cook the eggs in an instapot for 9 minutes and they just peel with ease.
- You can let the water boil first before gently dropping in the eggs using a spoon. After you drop in the eggs, wait five minutes for nicely boiled eggs. 10 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Remove and put in cold water. Peel your eggs immediately and enjoy smooth skin egg white.
- When you drain the hot water after eggs are cooked, don’t let them dry up with membranes. Add cold water and ensure the cooked eggs stay in water till you are ready to peel.
- Wash eggs with detergent and rinse before boiling. They cook without getting messy in the pot and peel easily too.
- After boiling, crack just enough of the egg to slide a teaspoon underneath the egg shell. Then slide it right off.
These are the tricks to peeling boiled eggs with ease and perfectly too. Try any and let’s see how it goes for you. My favourite is the cold water. It works for me all the time. Other methods of peeling boiled eggs work too, very well.
