How to peel eggs in a couple of seconds - 3 and a half effective methods

As a child, about 4 years old, a revolution took place in my carefree life - my grandmother decided that it was time to make a hostess out of me. Under the pretext of “you're a girl” they began to teach me kitchen wisdom. Oh, how I hated peeling eggs! The shell is removed with microscopic pieces, it sticks into sharp fingers with sharp edges ... Looking at my torment, my grandfather just smiled and showed how to make everything much faster and easier.

In order for the eggs to clean well, there are two main life hacks:

1. Before cooking, add a teaspoon of soda or tablespoon of salt to the water.
2. When the eggs are boiled, you need to catch them from boiling water and transfer them to cold water for a couple of minutes.

Method 1 - blow!

The most spectacular and fun option - it was him who showed me grandfather in the first place.

1. The boiled egg needs to be slightly cooled, knocked from different sides and rolled on the table - it should be covered with a net of cracks.
2. On the "nose" we pick out the shell so that it turns out a "bald spot" about a centimeter in diameter.
3. On the "ass" we pick out the shell a little more - with a diameter of 2–2.5 cm.
4. Slightly pinch the egg in a fist and with all our might blow it from the side of the nose, pressing our lips to the shell. Voila - a boiled egg pops out of his shirt.

Of course, this method is suitable in order to amuse children, but few people want to use it as an everyday one. Therefore, to your attention - Method 1.5: just tap and roll the egg to make it easier to clean.

Method 2 - shaking!

The bottom line is this: you need to ensure that moisture penetrates through the cracks in the shell - then everything unnecessary is easily separated from the surface of the protein.

You can act in different ways:

• After cooking, pour hot water, pour 1 cm cold on the bottom and chat the pan in circular motions so that the eggs beat against each other. Cracks form in the shell through which water will penetrate.
• Put the egg in a wide glass with thick walls, pour a little water there. Covering the glass with your hand, shake it vigorously over the sink. After such simple manipulations, a broken shell can easily be removed, like a peel.

If you need to quickly clean a lot of eggs, instead of a glass, you can use a two-liter jar with a screw cap.

Just do not overdo it - if you shake the container too much and for too long, not only the shell, but all the contents can crumble!

Method 3 - pierce!

This is an option for those who are going to cook the freshest homemade eggs and know how poorly they are being cleaned if they have not lain for several days.

1. We take clerical buttons-skewers (those with a sharp bent corner will not work). Very carefully pierce their shell, covering the air chamber - this is the area from the "butt".
2. Send eggs to boil as usual. Remember to add soda or salt to the water.
3. For a minute, dropping the finished eggs in cold water, we clean each of them. The shell will come off easily, because moisture got inside the hole made by the button during cooking.

After a review of all the methods, the conclusion suggests itself: there are no miracles, and therefore you need to think about easy cleaning of chicken eggs before cooking. It is important to ensure that between the shell membrane and the protein a little moisture accumulates - then the shell can be removed in a couple of seconds.
