Is peeling hard-boiled eggs becoming too much for you? You have company! Although hard-boiled eggs are a healthy and adaptable food, cracking open their shells may be an annoyance. Prepare to be delighted if you’ve ever had to deal with a jumbled mass of cracked eggshells. French celebrity chef, cookbook author, and TV host Jacques Pépin is here with a secret weapon that will change the way you cook forever. If you want to peel eggs like a pro, try this easy approach.
Eggs that have been hard-boiled may be a major nuisance to peel. As if acting independently, the shells adhere tenaciously to the egg white. The moment you try to peel them, they rip apart, producing a disgusting mush. Have no worry, however; Jacques Pépin has rescued the day with a fantastic plan.
One little tweak to your cooking method yields flawlessly peeled hard-boiled eggs every time. Jacques Pépin suggests poking a tiny hole in the eggshell’s broad side before dropping it into boiling water, rather than blindly hoping for the best. Yeah, it’s really that easy!
