Here’s what to do: before boiling your eggs, grab a lemon and cut it in half. Gently rub the lemon over the eggshells (or you can toss a lemon quarter into the water where you’ll boil the eggs). Next, cook the eggs in water to your preferred level of doneness. You’ll be amazed to see how the eggshells practically slide off after cooking, thanks to the lemon’s magic touch. Peeling eggs just went from tedious to effortless!
