Brief Summary
Joshua Weissman shares three egg hacks to improve your cooking. These include making a quick microwave omelette, perfectly peeling hard-boiled eggs, and efficiently dicing eggs using a wire rack.
- Microwave omelette in under a minute.
- Peel eggs perfectly every time.
- Dice eggs quickly with a wire rack.
Microwave Omelette
To make a quick omelette, crack an egg into a bowl, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together and pour the mixture into a greased small bowl. Microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. The result is a soft and creamy omelette. Garnish with chives, olive oil, and a touch of salt and pepper before serving.
Perfectly Peeled Eggs
Instead of peeling an egg by making a single crack and peeling from there, carefully roll the egg to create tiny fractures all over the shell. Submerge the egg in water and peel around it. This method ensures perfectly peeled eggs every time.
Dicing Eggs Hack
To quickly dice hard-boiled eggs, cut them in half and place them on a wire rack set over a bowl. Push the eggs through the rack. This allows you to dice dozens of eggs in just a couple of minutes, which is ideal for making egg salad or other dishes.
