Nowadays all I get is AI slop articles about “other ways to cook eggs”.

    I’ll second the fresh eggs part. We get our family’s eggs from a farmer in the next town over. They said that week old eggs will peel much easier.

    FWIW, place week old eggs in a pot, cover with cool water, bring to a rolling boil, cover and remove from heat. Wait 20 minutes exactly, then dunk in cool water.

    As others have suggested, bang top and bottom of the egg, then roll gently on the countertop/table to crush all of the shell without piercing the membrane, then pierce through the membrane on the top of the egg where the air bubble is and peel from there. Most of the time the shell amd membrane comes off in one piece.
