Useful egg tips
For easier peeling:
After boiling, immediately place eggs in ice-cold water.
Tap the wider end (where the air pocket is), and the shell will come off more smoothly.
To prevent cracking while boiling:
Add a pinch of salt or a few drops of vinegar to the water.
If a crack forms, the egg white will coagulate faster and stay inside.
Why fresh eggs are harder to peel:
Very fresh eggs have a lower pH, causing the membrane to cling to the shell.
After a few days in the fridge, peeling becomes much easier.
