How to 'Peel' Hard-Boiled Eggs Without Peeling

(I don't know if I have the energy to blow an egg out - but it is certainly fun to watch!)


Warning: Video contains mild profanity, parental guidance suggested.

Hard-boiled eggs can be annoying and time consuming to peel. In this video, master of time management Tim Ferris (author of the great book, The Four Hour Work Week), demonstrates how easy it is to get the egg without having to peel it!Instructions:Cover the eggs with water and boil on low for about 12 minutesCool the eggs by placing them in cold water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and ice. The baking soda raises the pH level and reduces adherence. If you choose not to use baking soda, be sure to move the eggs into cold water with plenty of ice immediately after boilingCrack the top of the egg and remove a small pieceCrack the bottom (wide end) of the egg and remove a small pieceHold the egg in your hand and blow vigorously into the narrow end of the egg, which will expel it out the wide endDoesn’t get much easier than that! Just be ready to catch it when it comes out…For tips and guidelines on selecting the freshest and healthiest eggs, please see the links listed under Related Articles.Sources:Four Hour Work Week July 2, 2008
