00:00There were a lot of wild theories out there about the best way to peel a hard-boiled egg.

00:05So we tried some and some were better than others.

00:08First we tried cracking two eggs together.

00:10That kind of worked.

00:12It peeled but it peeled into like a million bajillion pieces

00:15and it was kind of challenging then to clean up afterwards.

00:19I'd rate this one 8 out of 10.

00:22Then we tried cracking the egg and shoving a spoon up under

00:25between the shell and the egg to separate the shell

00:28and that one kind of worked but I kind of dented the egg with the edge of the spoon.

00:32I would give that one a 6 out of 10.

00:34Last and very least, we put the egg in a jar with some water and shook it up

00:40and that really didn't work.

00:43Not only did it not peel, we got some pieces of white that just like

00:47straight up stuck to the peels that came off and most of it was still stuck on the egg.

00:52So I would give that one a 1.5, let's be generous, out of 10.

00:58Also, the first time I tried this, I did it with an egg that was still warm

01:02and we ended up with eggpocalypse carnage.

01:06It was a disaster and it went straight in the trash.

01:10Now let me tell you about the way that it's tried and tested

01:13and the one that we stick to in the Delicious Test Kitchen.

01:16When you take the eggs out of your steamer, because I steam, not boil,

01:21you put them immediately into a bowl of ice cold water

01:25and you shock them there for five minutes.

01:28Shocking them in that cold water actually separates the membrane from the egg,

01:34making it much easier to peel.

01:36Once those five minutes have passed, just take an egg out of the water,

01:40tap it on the counter and slightly roll it around to break up the shell

01:44and then just peel, easy as that.

01:46Rolling the egg on the counter is great because it uses no extra equipment

01:49and it's kind of fun.

01:50If you have any wild egg peeling hacks, let us know.
