Boiling eggs seems like a simple task. However, when it comes to peeling the eggs, many women often find themselves in a frustrating situation, even though they are capable. Sometimes, the boiled eggs are so badly peeled that they look unattractive, with the whites and yolks not in their proper places.
When the boiled eggs are tightly stuck to their shells, the peeling process can be messy and unappealing. Some women even end up with whites and yolks all mixed up, which is far from ideal.
Some women have shared funny stories about their “accidents” while peeling eggs, which initially seemed like a simple task. However, there is an incredibly simple way to overcome these frustrating situations.
Ingredients:
Eggs (depending on the number needed for the family); a few slices of lemon.
Instructions:
First, simply place the eggs in a boiling pot as usual. Then, add a slice of lemon to the pot and let it boil with the eggs. Wait for the eggs to boil for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in hot water for a few more minutes if you do not want the yolks to be runny.

Next, remove the eggs from the pot and crack the shells. The eggshells will come off easily, allowing you to even peel off half of the eggshell quickly and neatly like this.
In this way, with just one simple step, you can save time peeling eggs, solving the annoying problem that occurs every time you boil eggs. The eggs, after being peeled, have a smooth and attractive appearance. With these beautiful peeled eggs, you can easily cook many dishes, such as braised eggs with meat, or marinated eggs in soy sauce…
In addition to adding a few slices of lemon, you can also add a pinch of salt or white vinegar, as they also help soften the eggshells, making them easier to peel.
It is important to note that if the eggs are stored in the refrigerator, you should take them out 15 minutes before boiling.
Only fill the pot with water up to about 2 – 3 cm (equivalent to the height of the eggs when placed in the pot) and always keep the pot uncovered while boiling to avoid covering the lid.
