Why do this? The answer is very simple. The fact is that the bulk product contains alkali, which fresh eggs may lack. As a result, soda will help increase the amount of alkali in the shell, and such eggs will be much easier to peel. This method is especially relevant if you need to stuff the product or decorate dishes with it.

But there are other methods that will help you peel the product from the shell without any problems.

For example, before peeling, it is enough to put the product in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. As a result, the shell will be easily cleaned of protein.
