This One Kitchen Hack Makes Peeling Eggs a Breeze — No More Frustration!

Getting Ready: The Ice Bath and Glass

Start with your boiled egg—whether hard-boiled for salads or soft-boiled for dipping, this technique works for any doneness. Once the egg is cooked to your liking, plunge it into an ice bath to stop the cooking process; this also helps firm up the whites. Next, pick a drinking glass that allows the egg to move freely but isn't too large to handle comfortably. A standard 12-ounce water glass is perfect for the job.
