Cool way to peel a hard-boiled egg . . . without peeling it!
Instructions:
1. Cover the eggs with water and boil on low for about 12 minutes
2. Cool 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 boiling
3. Crack the top of the egg and remove a small piece
4. Crack the bottom (wide end) of the egg and remove a small piece
5. Hold the egg in your hand and blow vigorously into the narrow end of the egg, which will expel it out the wide end.
Doesn’t get much easier than that! Just be ready to catch it when it comes out!

Ha! that's funny- i will definitely have to try that next time! :-) I normally love hard boiled eggs and egg salad, but not lately. I HATE peeling eggs when I make them though! handy trick! didn't know about the baking soda either! :-)
Wow that is awesome. Another example that you can learn something new every day.
