You probably know how to peel a hard-boiled egg, but did you know you can blow the shell off in no more than a few seconds? To see how that works, try the method below!

To step

1. After blowing the egg out of the shell, rinse it under the tap to rinse off any bits of shell that are left behind.

Tips

• Boil the eggs in water with a little salt so that the shell of the egg is already loose.
• Do not hold the egg too tightly. It needs space to slide out of the shell.
• With eggs that are very fresh, this method of peeling is less successful, if it works at all. If an egg is very fresh, the shell will not come off when you boil the egg.
• If the egg doesn't come out of the shell the first time, try again. Some eggs are very stubborn, but if you persevere, they will eventually yield.
• You can also blow soft-boiled eggs out of the shell, but the chance that it will work is less.

Warnings

• Especially when there is the flu, you should only use this trick on eggs that you are going to eat yourself, and not on eggs that you want to serve to others.
• Be careful not to let the egg fly out of your hands. All the effort will have been in vain when the egg flies into the air and then lands on the floor.
• Do not do this too close to rugs, curtains, or other items in the house that are difficult to clean.
