Strange. Maybe I don't do it that often, but I don't recall having much trouble peeling hard boiled eggs. My method is to boil them for desired time, run cold water over them for a bit, then drop them gently on the bench probably 3-5 times per egg so that the shell is consistently shattered, then peel. Maybe the problem is that I can't get fresh eggs.

- roel_v 11y agoThere are various apps that let you calculate optimal cooking times depending on egg size, initial temperature, etc. Works quite well in my experience.
- 4ad 11y agoI've found that steaming them makes this much more consistent: https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/7279-soft-cooked-eggs https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/7279-soft-cooked... Sorry for the paywall (I hate that!), there's an official youtube video you can watch for free, but I can't find it now. (Youtube history doesn't have search!)
