    • themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12So am I learning how to peel or peal the egg?
  • kev26, on 10/10/2007, -13/+6and queue the guy blowing jokes in 3...2...1...
  • iriscoler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10This is genius indeed. there is also a good trick with potatoes or tomatoes, anybody knows?
    • PhantomBantam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Potatos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP5Fo8s_obk
      You're on your own with tomatoes.
      • lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Cut out the piece of the tomato that connects to the stem. Then place the tomato in near-boiling water (not on the stove, just sitting in water that was recently at ~90-95°C). The skin should start peeling off. Just grab it and start peeling.

        And for the potatoes, how about a potato peeler?
      • gopy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Asian women sound so annoying. And they need to give those sound effects a rest! Interesting though.
    • Lochie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Ok, thats quite clever, but hell, the time it takes me to boil a potato and then put it in iced water, I could have peeled like 20 potatoes anyway.
      • drewlynde, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2usually you would be boiling the potatoes anyways...plus you don't boil just one potato at a time...
    • Takteek, on 10/10/2007, -6/+19..people don't eat tomatoes. Don't be ridiculous.
    • bradbeattie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26People peel tomatoes?
      • oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yeah, certain french dishes demand it
  • Rudigity, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51cool, yet you get spit on the egg, wouldn't wanna go to one of his dinner parties
    • rabidstrike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7now that its all over the intenet, I aint eating boiled eggs no more.
  • PhantomBantam, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Never heard of that website before. I like it.
  • Qtip42, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6That's great for hard boiled eggs but what about people like me who only eat the egg whites and don't hard boil them? What's a quick way to remove the whites only?
  • Macshiba, on 10/10/2007, -33/+0***** this *****. I just throw my eggs at peoples cars and windows.

    And faces.
  • Scheissen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13...after boiling.
    • raptordrew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5...when else do YOU try peeling an egg?
  • Ibox, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2so I wonder if this guy has any chrome left on his trailer hitch.
  • speaker219, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Yay! now I know how to peal an egg in 5 seconds!
  • h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It didn't work for me... I have a bowl of boiled eggs, and I try one every morning... Doesn't work for me :(
    • tackle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't tell me you burnt your hands...
    • MrSidnet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Boil the eggs in water with some vinegar. Supposed to help them peel easier. Not sure if it works with this technique though.
    • wayniethep00p, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3did you try restarting your computer?
  • siandt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Uh huh... interesting. Time for a midnight snack, methinks.
  • theeEqualizer, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2So... Digg... It's a news aggregator??? Or is it a clever stunt aggregator? Or an entertainment aggregator? So I can link videos of people falling down, or getting hit in the crotch... things like that? What is this thing for?
    • pathy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Digg used to be for people interested in science and technology to come together, post articles they thought others would enjoy, comment on them, and the like.

      It was like Slashdot, only without the moderators. It resulted in stories coming to the front page faster, with the less boring, inaccurate stories being dugg down, flagged as whatever, and it was pretty good.

      Then it got popular and turned in to the ***** hole it is mostly now.
  • danklogix, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I don't think anyone learned how to 'peal' this egg.
  • drcreek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I've just tried this... needless to say it went wrong. I will be ***** eggshell for a month.
  • Felekar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Fastest way I know to peel a tomato is to dip it into boiling water for about 5-20 seconds, just wait for the skin to crack, and it all comes right off with just your fingers.

  • xlar54, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Is this really a problem for people?
    • dajuggernaut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5come on man... This is America.. we invented spray-on butter for crying out loud!
  • PJBonoMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Peal? *Sigh* :(
  • ichibanjay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The trick is after you boil the eggs, you have to first cool them either in ice water or in the fridge before you do this. You want to make sure the egg white is as solid and resilient as possible so it doesn't just explode in your face.
  • Komodork, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0easier way to get shell off is to start banging it gently around the center until the shell looks like it in several pieces, grab a piece and start peeling it off, then grab both ends and pull, the shell should come off whole cause of that membrane
  • jerrilthegreat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I like the smile at the end
  • africansk8er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I tried it but it didn't work.
  • nico623, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Next up : peeling a chicken in 5 seconds !
