The life hack is similar to the way you cut an avocado

Many people are looking for culinary life hacks to avoid wasting money on food for the holiday table. And TikTok has found an incredible way to carefully cut boiled eggs in half so as not to damage the yolk. The eggs themselves can then be used for stuffing, and the yolks can be used for decoration and other purposes.

The amazing method was shared by a user under the name @themodernnonna, a cook from Bulgaria who was taught to cook by her grandmother. Today, more than 1.2 million people follow the blogger's secrets and life hacks. But even she was surprised when she learned about this method (to watch the video, scroll down to the end).

The method resembles the way you cut an avocado. You need to cut the white from the side, making sure not to touch the yolk, put the egg with the knife stuck in it on a flat surface and roll it smoothly so that the knife slowly makes a rotation around the entire egg.

Then all you have to do is carefully remove one half of the white from the yolk and take it out of the other half. As a result, you should get two halves of the whites and a whole boiled yolk.

Later, the blogger also explained how to boil eggs in such a way that the shell can be removed easily without damaging the whites. To do this, put the eggs in cold water, boil it, turn off the heat, and cover the pot with the eggs with a lid. Let it stand for 10 minutes. During this time, prepare a bowl of very cold water, ideally with ice cubes floating in it. Throw the eggs in it for a few seconds, and then, while they are still warm, peel them. The shell should come off easily.
