PEELING AN EGG

It's always frustrating when you peel an egg and the white begins to tear, spoiling the perfect curves of your boiled egg.

Here's a quick tip on avoiding the mess:

Try placing the eggs in the pan they were cooked in, and add cold water.
Crack the
eggs under water (this seems to help loosen the membrane under the shell).
Start peeling at the larger end, where the air pocket is, and remove the shell under
running water to make the shelling easier.
You must get a hold of the membrane
under the shell when you remove the shell.
Very fresh eggs are harder to peel. The
fresher the eggs, the more the shell membranes cling tenaciously to the shells.
