Hard-boiled eggs can be very difficult to peel. As if acting independently, the shells adhere tenaciously to the egg white. As soon as you try to peel them, they tear, producing a disgusting mush. Don’t worry, though; Jacques Pépin has saved the day with a fantastic plan.
A small tweak to your cooking method results in perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs every time. Jacques Pépin suggests poking a small hole in the wide side of the shell before plunging it into boiling water, rather than blindly hoping for the best. Yeah, it really is that simple!
