Question
Hello,
Is it permissible for a person to peel a hard-boiled egg on Shabbat? Isn't it considered the work of borer?
Answer
Hello
Peeling the egg is 'borer', but it is permitted for the purpose of eating, immediately before eating.
And although it is generally not allowed to take the waste from the food, but only the food from the waste, here it is permitted because there is no other way to access the food except by removing the waste.

It is forbidden to peel garlic and onions if peeling to store, but for immediate consumption, it is permitted
