The trick to getting the shell off a hard boiled egg.

Today, I learned the trick to peeling hard boiled eggs without ruining the white of the egg.

You tap it on a hard surface, making sure to tap hard enough to just crack the shell of egg. Repeat this on all areas of the egg until it is cracked all over. Pinch a small area at the top or bottom of the egg, and pull gently back. The shell will start to peel off without scarring, ripping, or splitting the white. Pinch any other pieces that remain around the piece of shell you just removed, and they should also come off with ease. Doing all this under running water will help... or at least it did for me.

I didn't think there would be any kind of trick to peeling the shell off, but it turns out it's trickier than one would think.
