Some housewives tend to always put matches with pre-cut sulfur heads into the pan when boiling eggs.

At first glance, such actions seem pointless, but in reality this is not so.

Chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova explained how exactly this technique can help.

According to the expert, if you don’t have matches with you, you can use wooden toothpicks.

Revealing the secret

The fact is that matches or toothpicks thrown into the pan with the eggs help to better peel the product from the shell.

In addition, this method prevents the shell from cracking and causing the contents of the egg to spill into boiling water.

To make the trick work, add 3-5 toothpicks or matches to the pan with boiling eggs. The result will be a smooth, even and easy-to-peel product.
