'Wow': This ‘Insane’ Three-Second Trick Makes It Ridiculously Easy to Peel a Hard-Boiled Egg

Peeling a hard-boiled egg can be a tedious task. In addition to being time consuming, it's often difficult to cleanly slide the shell off without damaging the egg white.

At least until now.

A three-second trick revealed in an online video shows how to perfectly peel off an egg shell. All that is required is a glass of water and an egg.

According to the video, simply shaking the egg in a cup of about half-an-inch of water will remove the shell and leave the egg entirely unscathed.

The footage of the demonstration was posted late last month, but started gaining traction online in the past few days, amassing nearly 7 million views on YouTube.

"Wow," commented one individual.
