The Ultimate Hack to Peeling Hard-Boiled Eggs Easily
2. Add Baking Soda to the Water
Adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water can increase the pH of the egg whites, making them easier to peel. This is especially helpful if you’re using fresh eggs.
3. Peel Right After Cooling
While it’s important to let the eggs cool, don’t wait too long to peel them. The longer the eggs sit, the more the membrane can reattach to the egg white, making peeling more difficult. Aim to peel the eggs within a few hours of boiling.
4. Store Peeled Eggs in Water
If you’re peeling multiple eggs and want to store them for later, place the peeled eggs in a bowl of cold water and keep them in the fridge. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents them from drying out.
5. Peel Under Running Water
If small pieces of shell remain stuck to the egg, peel the egg under running water. The water helps lift the shell away and rinses off any small fragments.
