Renowned French chef Jacques Pépin has shared a clever hack for easily peeling hard-boiled eggs. The problem of stubborn shells sticking to the egg whites is a common kitchen frustration, but Pépin’s solution is simple: before boiling the eggs, gently poke a small hole in the wider end. This allows the air pocket inside the egg to escape during cooking, making the shell come off more easily. Using a pin or thumbtack, this technique is easy and requires no special equipment. It’s a quick and effective way to improve meal prep, especially for busy mornings.
