Home chef shares her simple trick to peeling a hard-boiled egg flat in 10 seconds

A home cook has shared her simple trick for peeling a hard-boiled egg flat in 10 seconds, and all you need is a glass and some water.

Sydney’s Anita Birges said she’s been following this “tried and tested method for years” and that it’s “so satisfying when a hack actually works, saves you time and makes life easier.”

The home cook and professional organizer said you should try the trick yourself, all you have to do is “take your hard-boiled eggs off the stove and run them under cold water.”

“Make sure you cool them down properly,” Anita continued posting Instagram.

“Add one egg at a time to a short, stiff glass straight from your cold water. Cover the glass with your hand and shake vigorously.’

She continued, “Shake up, shake down, shake it all around.”

When you do this, the cracked egg will “easily detach from its shell like when a snake sheds its skin.”

Anita added, “I did about 25 eggs in less than five minutes.”

Thousands of people who saw the tip thanked Anita for sharing it, writing things like “great tip, thanks” and “wish I had seen this earlier this morning.”

Others shared their own tips for peeling hard-boiled eggs quickly.

“We cook a lot of eggs in our household and what I do is once the egg is cooked, I take a heavy butter knife and use the handle to tap each egg a few times and break it. I leave the eggs in the hot water until they cool and the shell literally slides right off!’ one person wrote.
