Peeling egg: how does the trick with piercing work?
Just poke a hole in the egg to peel the breakfast egg? There are two possible ways to do this:
Let's look at the first possibility. To peel an egg more easily, pierce the raw egg. The flatter side of the ice cream is best. Use an egg piercer or a fine needle. Otherwise, the egg could break. In addition, it only needs a small hole in the eggshell. Thus, during cooking, water will penetrate the egg, and it will be easier to peel.
The second variant takes place only after the hot water bath. Again, puncture the egg. This time, however, use the egg tip. On the flatter undersides, remove a little eggshell. Now blow at the tip - this way the egg can be peeled quickly.

Peel eggs quickly thanks to vinegar in the cooking water
Home remedies clean almost everything, one of which is called vinegar. This helps above all with limescale deposits. Since eggshells have a high lime content, the vinegar in the cooking water easily detaches the shell from the chicken egg. This makes it easy to peel the egg. Add just under a teaspoon of vinegar per liter of water. With this helpful trick, any egg can be peeled very easily.
