WATCH: How to shell a boiled egg without mess, according to TikTok

If there’s one thing to get people talking, it’s a TikTok hack about eggs.

Over the last few months we have delved into the world of TikTok hacks and have found some gems.

Like how to get juice out of a lemon without the pips, how to make a delicious egg sandwich in a few mins without a mess, and a great trick for getting bleach out of clothing.

(This was particularly very helpful when a brand-new jumper of mine was accidentally coated in bleach. I don’t want to talk about it.)

This next hack is one I was absolutely dying to try: Getting a boiled egg out of its shell without making a mess.

This post is from Instagram. Loading it lets Instagram set cookies on your device.

Basically, the idea is to blow to egg out of the shell, using your mouth. It then flies out with the force of your breath.

I was skeptical too, but lads, it actually worked. 

This is how you do it:

  • You boil your eggs
  • You wait for them to cool
  • You crack a little hole in the top of the egg and a bigger hole in the bottom
  • You blow into the smaller hole
  • Your egg pops out without shell

I tried, and the result gave me a good laugh. And, as the above video depicts, it worked!

I don’t know how but it worked and at the end I was left with just shell in my hand and a naked boiled egg in a bowl.

I would recommend giving it a go for the laugh if anything, because life is short and you might as well get all the laughs you can.

And the boiled eggs.
