I’ve been wanting to make this joke for over a year now, ever since I first saw the actual video and tried it out myself. Truth is that it works. Yup. It does. And it’s fun… I mean, sort of.
The biggest problem this method of peeling hard-boiled eggs has is that it doesn’t always work and that you only really end up saving like 10 seconds of time (unless the guy in the video peels his eggs in some weird manner that takes much longer). Nevertheless, ever since I tried it I pretty much peel all my eggs in this manner (without the biking soda), and I do have to admit that while I learned, I did make quite a mess.
Occasionally, I do wonder why I do these things. But then again, I do lots of stuff for no reason.
Good hunting;

NOTE 1: Please don’t email me saying that I can’t eat eggs and be a vegetarian. I’m not a vegan, I just don’t eat any kind of meat. And while we’re there; eggs are not meat. The eggs you get at the supermarket were never going to be chicks anyway. My science teacher way back in school explained that eggs are basically a hen’s period. So eggs might be disgusting, but at least they’re not meat.
NOTE 2: Am I the only one that feels dirty every time he says “peel my eggs”?
Don’t let the O close to the microwave with eggs!
(El jumper need more fiusha to look more manly)
Or..you can always peel the egg under running cold water^^
When I worked in a nursing home food department, After we boiled several dozen eggs, we poured icy cold water over then, and they were easy as hell to peel.
Only thing is, was that you have to worry about burning yourself from the hardboiled egg, and freezing your hands in the ice water.
This is nonesense,you can do the same without baking soda and in fact i did so several times.
Also,you blow through the flat side of the egg.
P.S. no you’re not the only one.
If you eat eggs (and drink milk), you’re a lacto-ovo vegetarian. If you eat eggs but don’t drink milk or use other diary products, you’re an ovo vegetarian.
About eggs, the objection from vegans generally have to do with the conditions the hens are in. Most are raised in a horrible manner, look it up if you want.
The liar! The dude still peels the egg, he just peels a lot LESS of it. Seems like something fun to try at some point, thanks for the tip!
I’d feel far less dirty saying “peel my eggs” than “i eat hen periods”. But then, I don’t eat eggs. I love meat though. What’s that make me? Lacto-meatatarian?
i don’t know how to say this in english so i’ll just say it in spanish..
O, un consejo, cuando un huevo es muy difícil de pelar porque la cascara está muy pegada, quiere decir que no está fresco.
Awesome! I am sooo going to try that! BTW, you misspelled “baking soda” in your closer. You spelled it “biking soda”.
peel my eggs.
nope, its not very dirty. I dont even understand what eggs could be… testicles? in which case, peeling them would be quite painful :S not dirty AT ALL.
You can add a salt to water and it make peelling alot easier, but it depends on what kind of egg you have. (I some times have an egg that you peel half of the egg with shell)
Lacto-omnivorian more likely unless you don’t eat plants at all, which is not reccomended.
Euch sorry forgot to say it but my last post was aimed at Lord Ebo
@Shade: Oh-ho! But “omnivore” implies that he eats eggs, and also renders the “lacto” redundant. So, if we want to include plants whilst excluding eggs, technically it would be more like: lacto-vege-meatatarian.
I tried it! It didn’t work for me! I felt silly.
I think I just fail at making eggs.
“Peel my eggs” wouldn’t have bothered me until you said something. Now it feels vaguely wrong, but I can’t say why.
Thanks a lot.;-)
A few days ago, an article on Wired Science explained that baking soda might help with peeling very fresh eggs. If you don’t need any baking soda, you need fresher eggs
Adding a generous amount of salt to the water also makes eggs much easier to peel.
