Read More »If there’s one thing we can agree on as a collective human race, it’s that peeling hard boiled eggs isn’t always a flawless process. Whether you’re whipping up deviled eggs for a crowd or just want a picture-perfect peel for the ‘gram, there are few things more frustrating than going through the hard-boiling process only to end up with an egg that looks like it’s been through the ringer. 43 years old and I still feel smug every time I perfectly peel a hard boiled egg. — Kingfisher & Wombat (@UrsulaV) January 3, 2021 From viral TikTok hacks to age-old remedies, here are a few tried-and-true tips for getting a perfect hard-boiled egg: 1. Baking Soda According to our friends at Delish, adding a teaspoon of baking soda to your boiling pot of water will help the shell peel off seamlessly. Why? The alkaline in the baking soda will help your egg whites loosen up from the shell, making it easier to peel. And don’t fret— the baking soda will not alter the taste of the egg whatsoever. 2. Ice Bath No matter what method you use for boiling your eggs, the post-boil ice bath is a step you should never skip. Fill up a large bowl with ice and cold water. Tip: Put way more ice in there than you think you need! The hot eggs will melt the ice fairly quick. When your eggs are done boiling, carefully place them in the bowl of ice water and let them sit for a few minutes. The shock of the cold water will allow the egg whites to contract from the shell, which will make them easier to peel. It also will stop the eggs from cooking so you don’t end up with an overdone final product. 3. TikTok Crack Hack Shoutout to TIkTok University for this handy hack! Okay, so it probably wasn’t invented by TikTokers— but it did gain recent popularity after going viral. The technique is simple: Before you place your eggs in a boiling pot of water, gently tap them on your counter or bowl to make a small fracture in the shell, just small enough that no whites spill out. From there, you boil as usual. Once your eggs are done cooking, fill a lidded container half full with cold water, place the eggs (one at a time!) inside, and secure the lid tightly—or, just use your hand to cover the top if your container is small enough. Then, shake it like a Polaroid picture— literally. The shell will star to peel itself away from the white, leaving you with minimal work and a perfectly peeled hard-boiled egg.

Read More »Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs — a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups — prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled.
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs — a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups — prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it’s what you’ve got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.
