Hard-boiled dazzlement

My God, will you look at this.

Anyone with access to a hard-boiled egg is urged to try this immediately and get back to us.

Wow, that's pretty cool; I didn't actually expect it to work. Mine didn't come off neatly as his, but i just blew until the shell sort of burst in one part, and then I was able to easily take off the rest of the shell with no damage to the exterior of the egg.

Very nice.

Wonder if it works with quail eggs.

I'm gonna try this tomorrow and post my results here. That is awesome.

Interesting? - Sure. Hygienic? - I don't think so. Using a teaspoon to separate the shell from the egg works for me.

I use running water. When the water gets under the membrane, it has much the same result - though his was especially neat.
