Today I'm gonna show you a number of really cool tricks you can do with eggs
For this video they're all going to be hard boiled.
So I'm putting them in a pan of hot water and leaving them to simmer for a while
Once they're cooked cool them down with some cold water from a tap and leave them to cool
When they're ready there's a number of really cool techniques you can use to peel them
The first is to simply tap it on a work surface
then gently roll it forwards
and backwards to break the shell
You should then be able to pick it up and carefully just slide the shell clean off the egg
It's a really quick simple and easy way to remove the shell
Another fun way to peel an egg is to use a drinking glass put an egg inside and cover it with some water
Then put your hand over the top and bottom of the glass hold it firmly and give it a good shake
After a few seconds you can take it out of the glass and the shell should just rub off the egg like this
You can give it a rinse under the tap if you like, and it's ready to eat
If you want to do more than one egg at a time you can take a bottle with a wide opening
Place a few eggs inside
Add some water, screw the lid back on and give it a good shake
This time you can see it's actually peeled a couple of the eggs so remove the lid and take them out
The one that's not peeled easily rubs off the egg again leaving you with three nicely peeled eggs
Next I'm going to show you how to do this really cool trick where you remove the top from an egg
And to do this we're going to be using a drinking straw
Take a pair of scissors and put a small cut in the straw like this
And another small cut here
This should allow you to open up the straw and carefully fold it into a nice v-shape like this
Next take one of your hard boiled eggs and using your straw carefully cut a zigzag all the way around the egg like this
When you're done take the top off, and if you get it right you should be able to see the top of the yolk
Pretty cool, huh
You get this really cool zigzag effect where you cut into the egg, and you can fit it back together
So you can hardly see the join
It's a really neat party trick to impress someone and it's good fun to try
You might find it takes a few goes to get right sometimes the yolk isn't in the center of the egg
And if you cut too deeply with a straw you might find you cut the yolk too
which is quite a cool effect in itself, but not the same as leaving it intact
