Eggs are a true lifesaver. Whether it is breakfast or a random snack break, a boiled egg can sort you out any time.

But peeling them is where the drama starts. Do it wrong, and you get dents, broken whites, and pure chaos.

If this sounds familiar, try these simple kitchen hacks to get smooth, cleanly peeled boiled eggs every single time.

Start by placing eggs in already boiling water. This speeds things up and stops the shell from clinging to the egg.

Right after boiling, move the eggs to ice water for five minutes. This helps the whites pull away from the shell.

Adding baking soda to boiling water changes the pH level. That loosens the shell from the whites quite a bit.

Take a jar, add some water and the egg, then swirl. The motion makes micro-cracks that help with easy peeling.

Roll a boiled egg gently on a chopping board using your palm. It cracks just enough for the shell to slip off.

Drain the hot water and shake the pan to crack the shells. Then tap the wider end and peel from there smoothly.

Cool your boiled eggs in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or even overnight. It makes peeling much less messy.
