There were a lot of wild theories out there about the best way to peel a hard-boiled egg.
00:05
So we tried some and some were better than others.
00:08
First we tried cracking two eggs together.
00:10
That kind of worked.
00:12
It peeled but it peeled into like a million bajillion pieces
00:15
and it was kind of challenging then to clean up afterwards.
00:19
I'd rate this one 8 out of 10.
00:22
Then we tried cracking the egg and shoving a spoon up under
00:25
between the shell and the egg to separate the shell
00:28
and that one kind of worked but I kind of dented the egg with the edge of the spoon.
00:32
I would give that one a 6 out of 10.
00:34
Last and very least, we put the egg in a jar with some water and shook it up
00:40
and that really didn't work.
00:43
Not only did it not peel, we got some pieces of white that just like
00:47
straight up stuck to the peels that came off and most of it was still stuck on the egg.
00:52
So I would give that one a 1.5, let's be generous, out of 10.
00:58
Also, the first time I tried this, I did it with an egg that was still warm
01:02
and we ended up with eggpocalypse carnage.
01:06
It was a disaster and it went straight in the trash.
01:10
Now let me tell you about the way that it's tried and tested
01:13
and the one that we stick to in the Delicious Test Kitchen.
01:16
When you take the eggs out of your steamer, because I steam, not boil,
01:21
you put them immediately into a bowl of ice cold water
01:25
and you shock them there for five minutes.
01:28
Shocking them in that cold water actually separates the membrane from the egg,
01:34
making it much easier to peel.
01:36
Once those five minutes have passed, just take an egg out of the water,
01:40
tap it on the counter and slightly roll it around to break up the shell
01:44
and then just peel, easy as that.
01:46
Rolling the egg on the counter is great because it uses no extra equipment
01:49
and it's kind of fun.
01:50
If you have any wild egg peeling hacks, let us know.
