🥚 The Perfect Method to Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs — Like a Chef

✅ 1. Use Older Eggs

Super fresh eggs stick to their shells.

Use eggs that are 7–10 days old for easier peeling.

✅ 2. Add Baking Soda or Vinegar

Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda or 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the boiling water.

This changes the pH level and helps separate the egg white from the shell membrane.

✅ 3. Boil the Right Way

Bring water to a full boil first.

Gently lower the eggs using a spoon to avoid cracking.

Boil for 10–12 minutes, depending on how cooked you like the yolk.

✅ 4. Ice Bath Immediately After Boiling

Transfer the eggs straight into a bowl of ice water.

Let them chill for at least 5–10 minutes.

This cold shock shrinks the egg slightly, pulling it away from the shell.

✅ 5. Crack & Roll Technique

Tap the egg gently on a surface, then roll it under your palm to loosen the shell.

Peel under running cold water to help remove any stuck bits.

Steaming works too! Steam eggs for 12–13 minutes for easy peeling.

Don’t wait too long after the ice bath — peel them while still cool and moist.
