All you need is a spoon.
I learned this only recently from my daughter in law who learned it from her Grandma. I am amazed that I have been boiling eggs for 50 years and never knew this.
So if you have struggled with the shell sticking to the egg or the egg having little indentations all over it, like mini moon craters, your troubles are OVER!!!
Tap the egg lightly with a spoon to crack some of the shell.
Slip a spoon under the shell.
Voila! No little bits of shell stuck to the egg, a nice smooth egg!
Easy shmeasy!!
Hope this little lesson was helpful :)

I'm going to give this a try. I have a lot of trouble with our fresh-laid eggs, and assumed it was because of their newness. Can't wait to see!

ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm going to try this next time. I'm at the point to where I never want to boil an egg again, so I hope this works every time! LOL

I just went and grabbed a boiled egg out of the fridge and dang if it didn't work!!! Cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your blog for a long time! Thanks so much for the tip. I tried it and it does work great! Best wishes, Beth K.
ReplyDeleteIt was very helpful. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteI plan to try this hint. I have used the running water and cooling off in water tricks but always have a few eggs who are shy about shedding their shells.
