How to peel a hard-boiled egg: Learn the secret to perfectly peeled

Ever tried to peel a hard-boiled egg -- only to end up with something that looked
more like a golf ball instead of a smooth, shiny egg?

Diana, an egg farmer from Wyoming, Ontario, shares her secret for peeling a
hard-boiled egg: Don't use fresh eggs.

Diana uses eggs she wants to hard-boil refrigerated for about a week. During
this time, air enters the eggs through the tiny pores in their shell and forms an air
pocket at their wide end. This makes them easy to peel.

Now that you know the secret, you're ready for Diana's three easy steps to
peeling a hard-boiled egg:

1. Crack the egg, starting with the wide end and continuing with the rest of
the egg. This loosens up the shell.
2. Peel the egg, starting with the big pieces of shell.
3. Rinse the egg under running water to make sure it's completely shell-free.

Enjoy!

And that's how you peel a hard-boiled egg, straight from someone who really
knows eggs -- an Ontario egg farmer.

After school and on weekends, their kids pitch in at the farm, doing tasks such as collecting eggs. But they also find time to spend together as a family. On a nice day, they'll head to the beach for a couple hours, dock their boat for a break. The kids also like driving their antique tractors, which they inherited from Diana's father.

Diana says that one of the things she loves about chickens is that, regardless of the weather, they'll always lay eggs. "It's something to be thankful for," she says.

Isn't this just how people normally peel eggs? This is the difficult method and you usually destroy the egg in the process when doing this.
