It may happen that the egg cannot be separated from the shell. Especially with fresh eggs. Peeling eggs takes a long time and when you are going to have an egg spread, for example, it really takes a lot of time. You know, you boil eggs, you let them cool in water for a while, but some just don’t work. You may be better off trying one of the following tricks.
Universal helper baking soda
Do you need the eggs to peel faster? Then add a little baking soda to the water while cooking. About half a teaspoon will be enough for a liter of water. Edible soda will increase the pH of the protein and go away from the shell more easily. After cooking, let the eggs cool in cold water and leave them there for at least 10 minutes. It will also help that you tap the shell a little to get the water under it.
You can also try a glass of water
Another simple way requires only a glass of water. Fill the glass to about one third, place the boiled eggs in it and screw it in or cover it with the palm of your hand. Shake it well. The egg breaks against the walls and is easily separated from the shell with water.
You can also blow the egg
Although this method is not for everyone, you can also try it. You peel off a piece of shell at both ends of the egg and then blow sharply from the narrower end. The egg should fly out. You can try it, but you probably won’t peel more eggs this way.
Peeling a teaspoon
All you need for this trick is an egg and a teaspoon. Tap the wider side of the egg, peel off a piece of shell and insert a teaspoon under it. Slowly move the perimeter of the egg and you should easily peel the shell.
Do not pour water from the eggs
Did you manage to cook and peel the eggs? We have one more tip. Do not pour water from boiled eggs. It contains a large amount of nutrients and is great for watering houseplants, it is an excellent fertilizer. However, this only applies if you have not added salt or vinegar to it. You can also spray it and spray the leaves on the plants. But first let her stand so that she is at room temperature and does not harm the plants.
