Let's say you want to avoid ruining the egg by leaving that super thin skin that sits between the egg and the shell; or don't want your hands to be covered in that egg smell; or you just had your nails done, and you don't want to ruin them by digging into the shells; or, how you just want to impress your friends, and show them this awesome kitchen hack!
Food & Wine Test Kitchen whiz Justin Chapple demonstrates a genius trick for peeling hard-boiled eggs with a spoon. It's way too simple not to try yourself.
You simply tap the bottom of the egg on a counter or cutting board, then peel off just the bottom of the shell. Then, slide a regular kitchen tablespoon under the shell so you can see the color of the spoon right under the shell. Starting slow and using some pressure, turn the spoon while catching the skin and bamn — the shell falls off in one piece!
So easy, so quick — so genius! But don't keep this kitchen hack all to yourself — please SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
