Struggling to peel hard-boiled eggs? French chef Jacques Pépin has a simple solution.
His trick involves poking a small hole in the wider end of the egg before boiling. This lets air escape during cooking, making the shell easier to remove.
To do this, use a pin or thumbtack to create a small hole. Boil the egg as usual, and the released air pocket will help peel the shell effortlessly.Pépin’s method is easy for anyone to try—no special skills or equipment needed. Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, it’s perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick, protein-packed snack.
