Why is it difficult to peel hard-boiled eggs?

If hard-boiled eggs are difficult to peel, it means that the eggs are very fresh. They will peel easily after being cooked for a few days. If peeling is not easy, just put it in cold water for a few minutes and it will be fine.

How to peel hard-boiled eggs:

1. Master the time of boiling eggs, usually about 5 minutes, so that the hard-boiled eggs are soft and taste good. Don't cook it for too long or the eggs will have a strange taste and won't taste good.

2. After the eggs are cooked, you should immediately put them in cold water to cool down, otherwise the remaining boiling water temperature will make it difficult to cook the eggs, or you can control the eggs for a short time, then turn off the heat and let the eggs cook. Boil water and cook eggs in a while.

Extended information:

Wash the fresh eggs, soak them in a pot of water for one minute, and then bring to a boil over low heat. This is to prevent the eggshells from bursting during cooking.

After the eggs are brought to a boil over low heat, switch to warm heat and cook for 8 minutes. Do not cook for too long, otherwise, the ferrous ions in the egg yolk will react chemically with sulfur ions to form a brown precipitate of ferrous sulfide, which will hinder the body's absorption of iron.

It is not necessary to take out the hard-boiled eggs immediately. Take them out after 1 to 2 minutes, or put them in boiling or cold water to cool down for half a minute. This will make them easier to peel. To prevent bacterial infection, it should not be put into tap water.
