You may have, a time or 67 in your life, hard boiled an egg. And you may have, during those moments, spewed a continuous stream of curse words under your breath while doing so. Because peeling eggs, unless you enjoy this activity, is usually a messy time-suck filled with many small failures.You may have tried to peel the eggs too soon, and burned the tips of your fingers. Or had to prepare a spa-like ice bath for the precious ovum, wait for them to cool, then gently tap their protective crusts in 12 different places to create sufficient cracks to loosen their shells, so they may be pulled off beneath a steady stream of running water.
