Older eggs peel easier: a little patience and the shock bath are your friends. Tap, roll, peel under running water for best results.
Older eggs peel easier: a little patience and the shock bath are your friends. Tap, roll, peel under running water for best results. Peeling is where egg lovers are tested: will you remain calm or descend into yolk-splattered rage?
The science is simple: older eggs lose carbon dioxide, creating more air inside the shell. Translation: fresher eggs are clingy, older ones are chill. Choose wisely.
When it’s time, tap the shell gently all over, roll it like a massage, then peel under a thin stream of water. It’ll wash away stubborn bits and keep your dignity intact. If all else fails, call it “rustic” and pretend you like jagged edges.
