The Practical Technique - Use slightly aged eggs when possible to benefit from higher albumen pH. - Boil completely (around 12 minutes in boiling water) so the albumen fully coagulates. - Plunge immediately into vigorously flowing icy water to maximize the heat-transfer coefficient ($h$), establishing the strong thermal gradient needed to weaken the membrane-albumen interface. - Crack at the broad end (where the air cell is located) and let water run under the shell to act as a hydraulic wedge during peeling. #Productivity Tool Junkies https://thequantasticjour..
