Mastering the Art of Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs


The peeling of hard-boiled eggs is notoriously difficult, and you're likely to end up with shell fragments stuck to the white of the egg. A less-than-ideal presentation of a healthy, uncomplicated snack can be the consequence of this typical kitchen problem. Still, famed French chef Jacques Pépin has divulged a smart trick that streamlines the procedure and guarantees consistently flawlessly peeled eggs.
