You boil eggs, shock them and peel them. Then cut the eggs in half and remove the yolk from the egg with a spoon or fork. You mash this nicely in a bowl and there you make the filling for the stuffed eggs with a few more ingredients. Couldn’t be simpler, right? Yes! There is a trick going around on TikTok that will save you a lot of time.
We have learned a lot of useful kitchen tricks since the arrival of TikTok. But we haven’t finished learning yet. Recently a new trick for cutting eggs has been added that has already been viewed more than 3 million times. Then it must be good.
Remove yolk from egg
In the video you see someone rolling a hard-boiled egg under a knife (sounds complicated, it isn’t) which cuts the egg in half while leaving the yolk whole. Extra profit: the knife and cutting board remain completely clean. This trick not only looks handy, it is also very easy. You may have to practice a few times, but after a few eggs you will get the hang of it and cut one after the other in half in this way for the deviled eggs. That saves a lot of time for the next birthday party!
How do you do it
- Peel the eggs.
- Place an egg on a cutting board and gently press the knife into the egg, but don’t cut too far yet.
- Pull back the blade and gently roll the egg. You cut the egg white in half this way, but the egg yolk remains whole.
This trick works best if you peeled the egg very carefully first. It is therefore better to use eggs that you have not cooked too short in advance. Older eggs are easier to peel, so this trick works best.
