How do you peel an egg? |
Peeling an Egg
As soon as you get your eggs boiled (don't boil in an enamel pot or you can't get a even peel), run cold water over the eggs until the water becomes cool. Tap the top and bottom of the egg on a hard surface to break the thin skin between the shell and egg. Hold egg under cold running water, roll between palms (back and forth), peel shell off and have a perfect egg!
Tips:
Use your thumbnail to get under the membrane under the shell. Keep working at it and it should all eventually slough off.
What if the egg has already been refrigerated? Simple! Place it back in really hot water for a while, then run it under very cold water, and it should peel a lot better than if it was peeled right from the fridge.
