The Trick To Easily Peel A Cold Hard-Boiled Egg
BY MOLLY HARRIS
To achieve perfectly peeled boiled eggs straight from the fridge, utilize thermal shock, which involves exposing the boiled eggs to rapid temperature changes.
This change creates a tiny space between the membrane and the shell inside the egg. This separation is what ultimately makes the peeling process a breeze.
This approach is commonly used on hot, freshly boiled eggs, which are immediately transferred to a bowl of ice water, but can also be used when going from cold to hot.
Begin by placing the hard-boiled eggs from the fridge into a bowl of hot water for a few minutes. As the hot water heats the eggs, the membrane inside the eggs should separate.
Then, use a bowl of cooler water to easily peel the eggs underwater. This will help separate the membrane from the shell while washing away pieces of the shell.
