I Need to See the Manager
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MANAGER IMMEDIATELY.
I have a beef with you, internet. I'll need to speak to your manager.
WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS?
It's probably hard to see because I'm still angry I went over 40 years without knowing this particular brand of voodoo magic, but that's a hard boiled egg just giving up its shell with no effort whatsoever because of a mother truckin spoon.
A SPOON.
Seriously, why did nobody tell me that the secret to peeling hard boiled eggs is a SPOON. I have spoons! I have always had spoons! WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS.
I assume you all knew and just didn't tell me so anger. I have much anger.
If you are the one other person on this earth who was unaware, you roll the egg around on the counter like always to crack it in a bunch of places, peel a little spot with your fingers, and then just slide the spoon up under that shell and roll it around. AND BOOM! The shell just falls right off and leaves you a perfect egg, no matter how you cooked them or how old the eggs were or whatever ever crazy nonsense the world has tried to sell me for the past four decades.
A spoon.
A SPOON.

At the risk of angering you more, you can add baking soda to the water when hard boiling eggs. It also makes them easier to peel. 1/2 tsp baking soda should do the trick. I didn't know about the spoon thing either.
I've been thinking about this post for a while, on and off, and wondering why my eggs never have their shell stuck to it like that. Mine are always easy to peel. Don't you "scare" your eggs under running cold water after boiling them? Are your eggs too fresh (mine usually are around the expiration date lol)? What else could it be? I really don't know why mine are so easy to peel.
That said: this is a great trick and I will recommend it to anyone with the same problem from now on!
