Why you should never put hot hard-boiled eggs in cold water: the chef’s explanation

A little-known preservation tip

It’s not widely known, but how you store eggs in the refrigerator can also affect their freshness. Chefs recommend placing them with the pointed end down. Why? Because the small air cell sits at the wider end of the egg. When placed upside down, it remains stable, slowing its natural expansion and prolonging its freshness. A simple and   remarkably effective  tip!
