Cooking Tip

Peeling Hard-Cooked Eggs

• To peel hard-cooked eggs, crack them by tapping them gently in two or three places and place them in a pan of cold water. If this doesn't work for you, try the following:

• Hold a boiled egg in one hand and a spoon in the other.
• Strike the egg with the edge of the spoon.
• Rotate the egg 90 degrees and repeat.
• Continue until the egg is cracked all the way around.
• Hit the side of the egg above the crack.
• Slightly squeeze the egg in the middle.
• With a slight twisting motion, lift off the shell's top.
• Hit the side of the egg below the crack.
• With the same twisting motion, lift off the shell's bottom.
