Quote HistoryQuoted: I had no idea it was such a complicated topic.  It’s not, I always thought it was. boiling water, cold eggs, 20 minutes later shell peels off, no problems. Been doing this since November 2019. |

Use older eggs.
Immediately ice them thoroughly after they are boiled. Let them get older. Crack them thoroughly on all sides and ends. Real thoroughly. Roll them on the countertop to make sure. Open the air bubble end under running water allowing it to lift the shell from the egg as you procede. As the shell loosens, roll the egg between your hands as if rolling a meatball. You're welcome. |

I absolutely hate to type this. This is not how I was ever taught to make eggs, either growing up or at chef school. For whatever reason this works great at high altitude. Bring water to a rolling boil, gently dump eggs into boiling water with a strainer. Boil 13 to 14 minutes. I mean rolling boil, no cover. Drain, cool in cold water. It doesn't matter if you peel them right away or the next day, shells almost fall off. Fully cooked yoke and never green.
You may have to adjust the time by altitude but I haven't had a bad batch since I started doing it this way. Give it a try. I also peel them under a small stream of running water to help wash off the shell. |

Crack eggs, pour into an Eggie, boil a work weeks worth at a time. Get tired of boiled eggs, boil a weeks worth of mini omelettes at a time in the Eggies.

Use older eggs so some water evaporates and you get a small air pocket. Put eggs in pot, bring to a rolling boil. Take pot off heat and leave lid cracked, allow to cool. Smack large end of egg on table and peel.

I use this. Bought after I saw it recommended in GD. I love it.
 
Then smack the egg so the shell cracks, roll it around under some pressure so the whole shell is cracked all the way around, then peel. Works great for me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pro tip: Tap the more rounded end of the egg before you boil it. Make sure it 'crunches' just a little. Boil egg. Peels like a dream. Proper hard boiled egg procedure: Tap egg to get a tiny crunch, as above. Put eggs in pot of cold water. Turn heat on high, bring to a boil. As soon as a rolling boil is achieved, move pan off heat, and cover. Wait 15 minutes, pour cold water into pot to stop cooking. Chill eggs, and peel under cold running water. Come back and post Thank you @Danner130. I always pierce the rounded end with a thumbtack before putting them in the water to boil. Sounds like the same effect you are sharing. Works well. Seems to allow a little water inside the shell to create a layer between the egg and the shell. Shell just slides off when you peel. Use the ice water after cooking tip as well. |

Automatic electric egg cooker (mine is a Hamilton Beach). You don't have to worry about a timer as the doneness (is that a word?) of the eggs is determined by how much water is put into it. The measuring cup also has a small point on the bottom to puncture the end of the eggs. Additionally, it's faster and uses less electricity than boiling a pot of water on the stove.
When the buzzer goes off, immediately immerse the eggs in cold water for a few minutes, then roll them on the counter top and peel under cold running water.

Everything else is my preferred method, except that I add a Tbsp of white vinegar to the water, which softens the shells. |

I cook mine in the air fryer instead of boiling water. They go into the ice bath and I tap the fat end and peel from there under water. The shell usually shucks right off once the water gets under the shell membrane.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Use eggs that are about a week old. The fresher they are the harder they are to peel. This is true. Having a supply of fresh eggs, I've experimented with letting them 'age' in the fridge. A few weeks old are super easy to peel. Day old is a bitch. |

Jacques Pepin pops a pinhole in the large end before cooking, then drains them and crashes them around the pot, then ice water.
They should never truly boil. I get them close to a boil, then pull them off the heat and cover for 12-15 minutes. Depends on how creamy you want the yolk. I was gifted 2 dozen yesterday, now I'm thinking I might stink up the house and truck for the next couple days

Age them, then let the wife do them. She can do 2 while I do one as her little fingers are much more dexterous. She boils them, drains hot water, adds cold, drains, adds cold and ice. Let sit for a while. Fresh eggs are a bitch, we get them from a gal with chickens, so they are days old at most. We are the only country that refrigerates fresh eggs.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have water boiling before you put them in. Keep eggs refrigerated until water is boiling. Since I learned this we haven’t had a problem. Slowly lower them in the water. Wife gets the water boiling then removes the pot from the stove and adds the eggs, she said it helps to prevent them from cracking. Me, I put them in while boiling and take my time. This is a proven method. Follow it. We boil eggs every night for the pups breakfast. ETA: The key is cold eggs and Hot water.........not the way you crack them after boiling. We just roll them across the counter with a little pressure. This is by far the best method I have ever used. |

I love hard boiled eggs. I've tried every truck in the book to peel them without destroying them and nothing has worked. I've tried I've water, tried running them under water, tried poking a hole, tried tapping before booking, tried the shell remover devices. Nothing works. NOTHING. So, I no longer boil eggs. If I want eggs I'll just make scrambled eggs or dry an egg.
Fuck hard boiled eggs. |

Instantpot on a trivet or egg holder. Seriously, you'll never try anything else. Most of the the time you'll have one or two eggs you can't get WITH the shell on. It slips right off in your tongs.

Boil for 15 minutes. Cool down in cold water. Crack the shell all over and start
the peel on one of the ends. You have to get under the membrane to get a clean peel. |

This is going to throw a few people, but if you gently lay the eggs in a pot of already boiling water instead of bringing them to a boil and end with ice water you will have the easy to peel eggs you want.
