Trick 5 – For Egg Peeling: Peel Under Water
Recently Cooked Eggs: The peeling time of recently boiled eggs was 15 seconds, and for steamed eggs, it took 13 seconds for peeling.
Aged Eggs: Peeling time for aged boiled eggs and boiled, steamed eggs was 15 seconds and 16 seconds respectively.
Rating: Egg peeling under water is the trick that gets a maximum rating, i.e. 10/10 rating.
Peel Under Water Method: This trick demands the use of a bowl and water. Submerge the cooked egg into a medium-sized bowl having water in it. Use the room temperature water for filling the bowl and perform the method on the single egg at one time. After submerging the egg, allow it to tap at the side of the bowl, which led to cracks. Now, peel it off under the water.
Results: I was not sure about how well the outcome of this method would be. But surprisingly, it worked well. The slipping off of the eggshell was swift and smooth, which leave the shiny surface of eggs. The membrane and shell separate from the egg amazingly once the cooked egg is cracked due to tapping.
My Verdict: Besides the fantastic benefit of ease of peeling, there are exist two more noticeable factors too. One of the factors is that this method involves the limited use of water. Peeling off the boiled egg under running water would lead to the same results, but it would consume much of the water. This method eliminates the wasting of water. The second noticeable factor is that I often rinse the eggs after peeling them for removing the lingering fragments. The need for this step vanishes due to peeling underwater as it offers the bathing for each egg without water wastage.
