Having trouble peeling boiled eggs? You are not the only one facing this typical kitchen problem. Boiled eggs are a common and healthy snack, but their hard shells can make peeling them a messy job. But don’t lose hope! Jacques Pépin, a famous French chef, cookbook writer, and TV star, has a smart trick to make peeling eggs easier.
The problem with hard-boiled eggs is usually the shells, which stick to the egg white, breaking into small pieces and making them look unappetizing. Pépin’s technique brings a straightforward but powerful change to how the food is cooked. What’s the secret? Make a small hole in the round end of the egg before boiling it.
This method helps the air inside the egg to come out slowly while cooking, which makes it easier to peel the eggshell. When a bubble of air gets stuck, it makes the egg white stick to the shell, making it harder to peel. Letting out this air helps the eggshell come off easily and without difficulty.
