in the pot with a little water before peeling—this cracks the shells all over and loosens them instantly!
What Doesn’t Work (Despite the Hype)
Adding baking soda to water: May make eggs easier to peel slightly, but often leaves a sulfurous taste.
Poking holes in the shell: Unnecessary and risks cracking during cook.
Peeling warm eggs: The membrane sticks more when hot. Always chill first!
Why This Works
It’s science, not magic: older eggs + thermal shock (ice bath) + water-assisted peeling = clean, smooth results every time.
