Cook’s Smart Trick for Easily Peeling Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Keep them unpeeled until ready to use for maximum freshness.

Use them for salads, sandwiches, or quick snacks.

Variations:

Steam the eggs instead of boiling for even easier peeling.

Add salt to the boiling water for extra help in loosening shells.

FAQ:
Q: Why does baking soda help with peeling?
A: Baking soda raises the pH level of the egg white, which weakens the bond between the egg and its shell, making it easier to peel.

Q: Do fresh eggs peel easily?
A: No, fresher eggs are harder to peel. Eggs that are a week old usually peel more easily.
