Peeling boiled eggs can be frustrating, but here are some tricks to make it easier:
Use older eggs – Fresh eggs have a tighter membrane, making them harder to peel. Older eggs work better.
Boil in salted water – Adding salt to the water can help loosen the shell.
Shock in ice water – After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath for at least 10 minutes. This helps separate the shell from the egg.
Roll and crack – Gently roll the egg on a hard surface to create cracks all over, then peel.
Shake in a container – Place the egg in a jar with a little water, seal it, and shake. The shell should come off easily.
Peel under running water – Running water can help lift the shell away.
