Chef’s Clever Hack for Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs

  • Struggling with peeling hard-boiled eggs? You’re not alone in this common kitchen dilemma. Hard-boiled eggs are a popular, nutritious snack, but their tight, sticking shells often turn peeling into a messy task. But don’t despair! Jacques Pépin, a renowned French chef, cookbook author, and TV personality, has a clever solution to simplify your egg-peeling process.

The issue with hard-boiled eggs often lies in the shells, which cling to the egg white, breaking into tiny pieces and creating a less-than-appetizing appearance. Pépin’s method, however, introduces a simple yet effective change in the cooking process. The trick? Poking a small hole in the wider end of the egg before boiling it.
