Youve been peeling boiled eggs wrong – mums cooking hack works like magic

A mum has found a tried and tested hack to make hard-boiled eggs easier to peel.

Chiropractor Dr Jordan Burns, from Indianapolis in US, learned a brilliant cooking hack from his mum Heather, who loves eating hard-boiled eggs.

She explained there is a way to peel the egg without the shell sticking.

And all you need, apparently, is a metal spoon.

Heather demonstrated in the now-viral video on Instagram, saying: "You hear the snap at the end?

"It means that the albumin popped away from the outer shell and they are so much easier to peel."

She held the spoon and tapped at the egg shell repeatedly until she heard a crisp "snap".

"Did you hear that? Some of them take a little longer to snap, but some of them take a couple taps to snap," Heather continued.

"I've done it…I boil eggs almost every week and I have done it many times and most of the times my eggs are mutilated by the time I get the shell off."

She then placed the eggs in a pot which she filled it with water and boiled for 10 minutes.

After that, she took the eggs out and placed them in an ice "bath".

"Once cool, crack on counter and peel away! This has made the difference for me! I've tried some other hacks but nothing has worked as well as this," she added.

Others shared their hack for easy-to-peel eggs.

One said he waits for the water to boil before gently placing the eggs in the pan for 12 minutes, before taking them out for an ice bath.

Another wrote: "I put mine in a pressure cooker for seven minutes, perfect peel every time."

Some tested it out and agreed with Heather that the hack "works like magic".

"This honestly is the best tip and the snap is so satisfying!" a viewer commented.
