The hardest eggs to peel are fresh eggs, as well as those that were cooked incorrectly.

In the latter case, we are talking about a sharp change in temperature, when a cold product from the refrigerator is lowered into boiling water.

How to Boil Eggs Properly

About 20-30 minutes before cooking, they should be taken out of the refrigerator so that they come to room temperature.

The product must be lowered into already boiling water.

It is advisable to cook eggs over medium heat.

If you have to boil fresh eggs, then you need to carefully pierce them from the blunt end with a pushpin.

This will help to quickly peel the product from the shell, since there is an air pocket in that place, which helps the shell to “separate” from the protein faster and easier.

Once the eggs are cooked, they need to be placed in cold water for about 10 minutes. After that, you can start peeling.
