finally my years of experience in financial offices comes in handy!!! for the staple remover, flip the pages over and pry up the little staple arms first (the remover will not tell you to do this, but if you do then you can remove the staple with minimal damage).

For the egg molds you actually want to do a semi soft boiled egg and leave it overnight in the fridge! You can also use them to make onigiri 🍙 rice balls

[@DancerMusicanActress]

My parent have the ones that make square eggs. They are pretty neat but also a pain

[@lilbit1535]

I *love* those egg molds! I made those for myself for years. And yes, the hotter the egg when it goes in the mold, the better.

[@loveyourselfplease6842]

Yes, I use the peel the the eggs under water hack for easy peeling but it was cooling the eggs to rapidly so I just dunked them back into the water I used to boil them for abt 30 seconds & it worked great. Completely agree about them needing to be in the fridge overnight

[@PrncsKaters]

Those staple removers are a GAME CHANGER for getting staples out of bulletin boards and walls because the staples don’t bend in when you do that. It makes taking things off the walls of my classroom SO MUCH QUICKER. Ive had a Staples brand one for the entire 18 years ive been teaching and it is an essential tool.

[@SugarNSpice1186]

Love the highlighter tape! It would be even better if it came in a dispenser like correction tape, but refillable!

[@mc_creates3499]

Highlighter tape is such an amazing tool for knitting/crocheting! It helps you follow a pattern and take notes temporarily so you can reuse patterns in multiple sizes. I use a brand that comes on a roll like normal tape which makes it a lot easier.

[@mumofcuties5873]

Fantastic idea! Will definitely buy some and do this for my crochet patterns. Thanks for the tip!

Usually when you make meat and cheese sandwiches with those cutters you cut the meat and cheese separate them the bread and make the sandwiches with the cut pieces.

[@heidialvarez4873]

I'm a mom and a teacher. I use or have used many of these items. My daughter, who is in college, told me recently that having her sandwich cut like a heart or butterfly made her feel extra cool and loved at the lunch table. I used large cookie cutters. Cut each ingredient separately for better results. I use the floor desks, my 4th graders love them. I use a version of scratch offs as prizes. The staple remover is especially helpful while changing bulletin boards.

[@Valg5]

With eggs, I hit the top and bottom then roll it. Once the shell is nicely broken up it should come right off =)

[@just_megan_elle]

This is what I do too

[@marciwhitman3513]

Plus it's always easiest to peel the egg after you have just recently cooked it. I hate cold eggs.

[@jleighwolfe]

I do that too but you actually only need to hit the bottom end with the air pocket.

[@PrincessElisa8]

The stapler remover is amazing for teachers bc we put up bulletin boards and staple things to walls and cork boards and such. So when the staples go into these surfaces, they don’t bend the way staples bend on paper. So using it to remove things from the classroom walls is easy since they come out straight not bent. I wouldn’t really use stapler removers for removing staples on paper. Unless I first use it on the back of the stapler to lift the little metal curved ends and straighten them and then turn it over and remove normally if that makes sense.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

I much prefer the claw staple removers. In my opinion it's easier to use.

[@amyno5688]

I have always found the straight staple remover to be much easier for me! But you are supposed to use it on the back first to open the folded bits. The claw for me just eata the whole dang corner! Haha

[@martacor7864]

Hi Rachel, try crack the hardboiled egg and peel under tap water. The water enters trough that fine "skin" and help it peel all at once 😉☺️

[@linseylinsey]

Yes, it helps get under the membrane :) Also, putting in an ice bath after, which wouldn't work with the mold thing

[@ashleysczenski7435]

I think the sandwich cutters would have less waste if you had regular size bread.. your bread is big. Lol. Also I like to cut the bread first then we save the crusts for French toast bites!

[@lacytaylor1501]

That's what I was thinking. That's some big bread. I expected it to barely remove the crust or even have some left on it for the heart one.

[@challengherbeautygirls6747]

They don’t fit on regular sized bread unfortunately… I own them and had to start buying the larger slices 🥴

As a teacher, that staple remover is AMAZING! It works best for bulletin boards. You don't even have to remove the staple from the staple remover right away. Just keep going and dump them all at once.

[@DeirdreCuneo]

By the way, little usable things like this make great gifts for teachers. We love things that we can genuinely use in our classrooms.

[@opyop3992]

I love the highlighter tape, but I feel like it would be so much better if it came in a little applicator like correction tape that you could just glide along the paper and tilt to cut.

[@Waterflame]

20:50 I'd love to get an update on those highlighter tape things, to see if they're still easy to pull off after they've been in the book for a couple days/weeks/months.

[@hkandm4s23]

I used these in grad school 10 years ago. My toddler daughter found them in my books last year and proceeded to peel them all off and stick them to the walls. So I can say that yes they remove and restick basically indefinitely until you get them dirty....I will say the ones I used were like 2 or 3 inches long little flag type highlighter tapes. Much easier to use than a whole roll of tape

[@cathierainwater]

I used to use the heart sandwich cutter (similar to the one shown in the video) all the time for my daughter. She hated crust, so it was useful. Some brands have larger pieces of bread which worked better...the smaller bread was a problem. Salami is hard to cut with those cutters, but something like PB&J or Nutella is fine, sometimes turkey or thin ham.

[@Ray_Vun]

wouldn't it be easier to just buy the bread that doesn't have the crust? saves you time from having to cut off the crust and also no waste

[@amandamurphy1216]

I wonder why they didn't just make the molds capable of being boiled so that way it would take on the shape? Thanks for another awesome video♥️ Amanda

[@hayleymariemills]

Because a boiled egg comes out of the shell that way because of the membrane inside the shell. When you crack a raw egg, there's no way to not puncture the membrane so the contents aren't contained & are instantly surrounded by air. It'd turn out, at best, like a poached egg.

[@AliP1970]

To peel a hard boiled egg - just tap both ends on the counter, one end will crush more than the other. The most important part is breaking the membrane. One you get thru that you can roll the egg between your hands or on the counter and it should be relatively easy to peel without losing parts of the egg. Also, with the egg shapers you should leave them in the fridge over night. I've seen a lot of reviews on these and done my own testing too. Always love your videos. 💜💜💜

I would have sat on it propped up against the sofa on the floor without having to have a lap desk cutting off circulation or making my lap really hot (the polyester cover plus the polystyrene beads inside gets WARM this time of year). I think this seat & the highlighting tape are the most universally useful finds.

For easy peel eggs use your instant pot! The 5-5-5 method works every single time. Also for the sandwich cutters flip it over so the cutter is on the bottom and put the sandwich on top, then use a rolling pin! I’ve found it cuts the easiest and is less stressful for me.

With the staple remover, hold the paper down while pulling out the staple, with your thumb over the staple. Helps with the hole thing. They are also the best at removing price stickers. Especially if you work in retail or around Christmas. Saves your nails!

[@Marie-ct4td]

The problem with the eggs is peeling them hot! Usually you drop them in an ice bath and let them cool before you peel. It helps them peel easier. It wasn't you - it's a flaw in the process.

OKAY OKAY! tip, use a small reaspoon crack around egg horizontally. Use spoon to go under shell and turn around egg! Boom best peeling hack! Make sure it's not a super thick metal spoon!

That's a good one. I also tap the top and bottom then roll it under your hand on the counter with light pressure. It will crack into many cracks and peel right off.

Eggs done in the Instant Pot have ALWAYS peeled beautifully…no grey/green ring around the yolks. 2min HP (high pressure), 12min NR (natural release), 5min ice bath. It doesn’t matter how many eggs you put in. New eggs, older eggs, farm fresh eggs, eggland’s best, etc. I’ve tried baking soda, vinegar, peeling contraptions…nothing worked consistently. Also, I used the same molds for years and never had to put them in hot. As long as the eggs were cool enough to handle, they always worked. I hope you try again with bigger, nicely peeled eggs. They end up so cute. It was the only way my kids ate eggs all through their elementary school years. I’ve put many a mom onto these molds! Good luck! PS-my daughter and I are ADDICTED to your videos! You’ve probably saved us from purchasing a lot of junk.

[@tincoral]

Ok, I had to pause this because my oldest son will only eat homemade jam, either made by me or my mom. One day, several years ago, my son was living with friends, and grandma gave him 2 jars of jam and asked him to give one to his brother and keep one for himself. He told her that he would, in fact, be keeping both because "Cordel is a heathen and will eat Smuckers, so I will just appreciate his jar too." AND HE DID!! I had several jars frozen, so it wasn't a problem, but the fact he refused to pass it on was pretty funny in our family. The other hill he will die on (and I agree with this one) is apple cider. His roommates would drink from his sad little half gallon of cider bought from an apple orchard, and then replace it with store bought gallon from Walmart or Meijer saying they gave him more in repayment. He would complain to ME about how it isn't even close to being cider and mad he had to drink "swill". So I would buy him a quart to take home, and 2 gallons to leave at my house and he would just bring his quart over and fill it out of that. We don't have to worry about it any more because he now lives with his girlfriend and would let her have the last bite of his homemade jam and wash it down with every drop of the cider and not think twice about it but for a while there I think he seriously doubted his friends or brother had taste buds 😂😂😂

[@catwomanva]

You should always use a staple remover on the back of the page/staple to spread the legs of the staple first, then flip to remove from the front. There's minimal damage that way - only the little holes from the staple themselves remain.

[@cali.cruzin]

Amazing "hack" I learned recently for peeling hardboiled eggs and use every time: fill a glass/cup 1/3-1/2 of the way with water, put the egg in there, put your hand over the top and shake it hard several times (do it over a sink because water will splash out). The shell comes off so fast and clean. I think the impact against the cup/glass cracks the shell, and the movement of the water gets under the membrane to help the whole thing just slip off. And I do also think using the instant pot to cook them makes it easier to peel!

[@hfrisch007]

I cannot recommend enough one of those wire cheese cutters. Knives and I don't get on well when it comes to cheese, but the wire cutters work on soft & firm cheeses and save your wrists. _(Also, I don't remember if you've said anything about how you hard boil your eggs, but I've had such an easier time peeling with the method I use: Get the water boiling and ease your room-temp eggs into the boiling water; turn off the heat and put the lid on immediately; leave covered there on the stove for 15 mins; then dunk in cold water. They peel SO much easier.)_

[@Robin2152]

Hard boiled Eggs, before you cook them, tap around the shell lightly with the back of a spoon. You will hear a slight noise when you have successfully separated the embryo from the shell. Boil as normal. They peel beautifully. I wish that I knew this hack when my kids were growing up.

[@sparklesthefairy8482]

Some commentary on this video 1st of all how lucky are Rachel's children, I wish my mum did things like this with my school lunches 2nd of all when I first saw that Kirkland cheese I thought it was off and then when Rachel cut it with a knife it gave me significant anxiety.

[@dreamcherub7541]

If you roll your boiled eggs after slightly cooling them, while applying gentle pressure, it should make it easier to peel. If you're not worried about the shapes, dunk them in ice cold water immediately, roll them on the counter with pressure so they crackle then put them back in the water, the water will get into the cracks and help the shell come off more easily.

Easy way to peel hard boiled eggs… people say to do it before you boil it, but when I tried I cracked most of them so I tried after it was boiled and it worked just as well… after it’s boiled use a spoon to hit the round side of it gently until you hear a snap.. that’s the membrane and boom it’ll peel in basically one or 2 peels.
