  • A cold egg is easier to peel, as the egg whites shrink and separate from the shell.
  • Place the eggs in the bowl so they are completely submerged in the water. After you boil the eggs and let them cool for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, soak the eggs in water to make them easy to peel. You can use a plastic egg bowl or use another container if one isn't enough to soak all the eggs. No need to cap! Eggs soaked in water will cool without a lid.
    • You can pour less water if the water rises to the edge of the bowl.

  • By hand Peeled eggs clean the shell. After soaking the eggs in cold water for a while, remove them from the refrigerator and discard the water. Use a spoon to knock the shell apart, then peel the crumbs with your fingers.
    • Once you have partially peeled the shell, you can easily peel the rest.

  • Method 2 of 3: Peel the eggs under running water

    1. Turn on the tap and let the cold water run for about 15 seconds. Cold water will cause the egg whites to shrink and make it easier to leave the shell. To use cold water, let the water run for a few seconds to allow the water to adjust its temperature.
      • The water doesn't need to be as cold as ice, but the colder it becomes, the easier it is to peel the eggs.
      • You should completely wash the dishes in the sink and rinse the sink with soap and sponge.

    2. Tap the big end of the egg into the sink 1-3 times and start peeling. After holding the egg under running water for a few seconds, tap the egg in the sink a few times. It's best to tap on the big end of the egg. The shell will break, and it should be easy to peel.
      • You can also tap the egg next to the tap. Remove the egg from the running water and tap the large end of the egg against the end of the tap.
    3. Peel off the egg from the large end of the egg. The lower part of the egg is slightly larger than the first and easier to peel because of the larger area. Peel off the shell that you just tapped into, peel the egg off with your fingers, and peel the egg under the tap water.
      • Since the eggshell will easily flake off in the water, you will be able to peel even the hardest hard-boiled eggs.

    4. Boil eggs with ¼ cup (60 ml) vinegar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then pour the vinegar and salt in the pot. You can put the ingredients in the pot when the water starts to bubble.
      • These ingredients help separate the shell from the eggs, and you can easily remove them, even hard eggs.
    5. Try adding a little baking soda to the water if you don't have vinegar. Instead of vinegar and salt, you can also use baking soda to make it easier to peel your eggs. Pour about 1 liter of water into a saucepan and add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda as the water starts to boil.
      • The baking soda is absorbed into the egg, loosening the bond between the egg white and the shell membrane.
    6. Use a needle to prick the egg before boiling it to make it easier to peel. Before you boil an egg, make a hole in the egg to allow more water to penetrate the egg, making the shell easier to peel. You can use a board needle or a pin to punch holes. Holding the egg in one hand, pressing the needle gently through the eggshell in one hand, and gently placing the egg in the pot of boiling water.
      • The more water absorbed into the egg will help the egg white separate from the shell of the eggshell.
      • Be careful when poking the hole to avoid breaking the eggshell.
    7. Place the eggs under cool, running water to prevent them from overcooking. Eggs can continue to cook even after the heat is turned off. To keep the eggs from further cooking, soak them in cold water immediately after boiling. If you overcook the egg, the eggs will begin to hatch and become difficult to peel.
      • Another way is to put ice in a bowl and place the eggs, then leave the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before peeling.

    Warning

    • Beware of sharp eggshell fragments. Sometimes sharp and sharp corners can scratch your hand or poke your finger.
