How to quickly remove the shell from a hard-boiled egg?

To avoid this situation, there are several practical tips you can use:
One of the first is to wait for the egg to cool slightly before attempting to peel it, as this reduces the stickiness of the shell.
You can also add a generous tablespoon of salt to the water while the eggs are cooking, which will facilitate the peeling process.
If you don’t have enough time for the eggs to cool, I’d like to share another tip that was suggested to me and has proven effective.
Lemon juice tip:
You only need one lemon; slice it and add it to the pot of boiling water while the eggs are cooking.
With this tip, the shell will peel off almost entirely, effortlessly and without getting your hands dirty. Additional tip:
Another strategy that will make peeling hard-boiled eggs easier is to drain them after cooking and rinse them in cold water or even soak them in ice cubes.
