🚫 Don’t use the “shake in a Mason jar” TikTok hack — it may work, but it’s loud, messy, and can damage the egg
🚫 Don’t skip the ice bath — cooling is key to clean peeling
🚫 Don’t use super-fresh eggs — they’re the hardest to peel
🥣 Why This Matters: From Breakfast to Meal Prep
Perfectly peeled eggs aren’t just pretty — they’re practical.
Use them for:
- 🥗 Egg salad or deviled eggs
- 🍳 Breakfast bowls or ramen
- 🥪 Sandwiches and snacks
- 🍱 Meal prep containers (no one wants a shredded egg)
✅ Smooth, clean whites = professional results at home.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a $20 egg peeler or a viral TikTok trend.
You just need one simple trick from a master chef:
Peel under running water.
It’s not flashy.
It’s not complicated.
But it works — every single time.
So next time you boil a batch of eggs, remember Jacques Pépin’s quiet wisdom:
Work with the egg, not against it.
Because sometimes, the best kitchen hacks aren’t new —
they’re timeless.
