Tim Ferris, author of the great book, The Four Hour Work Week, reveals a method to remove the egg shelf easily without any peeling:
1. Cover the eggs with water and boil for 12 minutes.
2. Cool the eggs in a bowl of ice water with a teaspoon of baking soda which raises the pH level and reduces adherence.
3. Crack one end of the egg and remove a small piece.
4. Crack the other end of the egg and remove a small piece.
5. Hold the egg in your hand and blow vigorously into the opening on one end, which will expel the egg from its shell from the other end.
