Everyone has a kitchen task they hate. Maybe it’s cutting onions (so many tears) or peeling beets (pink stains everywhere). For me, it’s peeling hard-boiled eggs. I hate removing the shell because no matter how hard I try, I never can get the perfect peel. That means my deviled eggs never look as flawless as I want.
Lucky for me, our Test Kitchen has a method for how to peel hard-boiled eggs with picture-perfect results. That means no more ugly eggs and no more frustration! And I can cross this task off my list of most-dreaded.
