Yes, it is true that you should put boiled eggs into cold water immediately after cooking. This will make peeling the shell off much easier.

When you boil an egg, the heat causes the proteins in the egg white to coagulate. This means that they start to clump together and form a solid network. The heat also causes the air pocket inside the egg to expand. This can cause the shell to stick to the egg white.

If you put the boiled eggs into cold water immediately after cooking, the rapid cooling will cause the proteins in the egg white to contract. This will help to loosen the shell from the egg white. The cold water will also help to shrink the air pocket inside the egg, which will further loosen the shell.

Here are some tips for peeling boiled eggs:

• Use cold eggs. Eggs that are closer to their expiration date will peel more easily.

• Start the cooking with cold water. This will even out the cooking time so it doesn’t matter if your eggs were cold from the fridge or at room temperature.

• Don’t overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be harder to peel.

• Shock the eggs in cold water immediately after cooking. This will help to loosen the shell from the egg white.

• Peel the eggs under cold running water. This will help to prevent the shell from sticking to the egg white.

• Use a sharp knife or an egg slicer to help you peel the eggs.

With these tips, you should be able to peel boiled eggs like a pro!
