I'm sure this has happened to most of us. You boil up a stash of eggs for the week, and someone trying to be helpful moves all the eggs so that they now all look the same. Here's a quick and easy trick to telling if the eggs are indeed hard boiled. Of course you can always crack them open. Hmmm, that reminds me. My father used to put a smiley face on the boiled ones. I'm sure it was done with a lead pencil. Ugh! If that is not the plan here's an easy "safe" solution.
Simply place the egg on your counter and give it a turn as though it was a top. When it's in the spin, lightly tap the egg. A cooked egg will stop spinning. Not so with a raw egg. The insides will continue to spin after a light tap, and so will the egg itself. A raw egg will also have the wobbles when you spin it. Like someone who stayed too long at a hen party.
We want to hear your tips and tricks with eggs. If this had been a hard-boiled egg I would have used the Negg® Egg Peeler to "Get the Shell Outta Here."
