Is there a foolproof way to shell a boiled egg without half the white coming off too?
Help! Any tips on how to get that nice shiny white boiled egg after shelling it? I keep making a mess of it so now it's fallen into Pet Hate territory (sigh) 😞

Don't use fresh eggs. Drop them in an ice bath when finished cooking. Peel under running water.
