i was posting on another ng a way my aunt showed me loooong time ago.
after hard boiling the egg she would break the bottom of the shell, the
round part opposite to the tip, remove a little piece of shell to form a
small hole, and she would blow hard inside the hole. well... it works!
everyone to blow his own egg though.
