Simple Egg Peeling Tips for Effortless Cooking

Simple Egg Peeling Tips for Effortless Cooking

Boiling eggs can sometimes be tricky, especially when the shells don't want to come off!

This article gives two simple tips to make peeling easy.

First, add a little salt to the water while the eggs are boiling.

The salt helps stop the eggs from cracking and loosens the shell.

Second, once the eggs are done, immediately put them in a bowl of cold water with ice.

This quick change in temperature helps the egg white shrink away from the shell.

After a few minutes in the cold water, the shells should slide right off!
