I'll add I've tried many suggestions here and they're not even close as easy to peel as when cooked under pressure.

We boil a dozen at a time at our leisure. Place in refrigerator. Repeat every 3-4 days. Takes zero time to get them ready in the morning.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

you guys got it all wrong, who cares who or how they got boiled and pealed? The most important part is how long they been soaking in vinegar with cayenne peppers and garlic on the back bar. I reckon the best ones been sittin' back there at least five years or more. That's the kind you want to save for special occasions, like something that might happen next year

I have tried a lot of ways to boil an egg but hard to keep the shells from sticking. Upon advice, I started adding a little baking soda to the water...no idea why, but it helped with the sticky shell problem
I have heard of people baking their eggs instead of boiling, but have never tried it.

20 minutes in boiling water and then into a pan of water and ice cubes. Perfectly done and easy to peel every time. Nothing worse than a hard boiled egg just a little under cooked. Except for a juicy soft boiled egg overcooked.

I agree with the simplicities method.
Use old eggs Start with the eggs in cold water Bring to boil Let set until room temp.
I prefer soft boiled so I shock em in ice to halt th cooking process.
Also- once peeled, grab a can of the pickled jalapeños and pour them into a ziplock, juice and all, add some of the peeled eggs, suck the air out and let em sit in the fridge for at least a week. Doesn't get much better.

The only eggs I eat are in an omelet with an azz load of veggies and salsa. I won't touch a hard boiled egg. My wife likes them all and stinks up the fridge regularly with the hard boiled variety.

I let my wife boil them, or better yet, make deviled eggs. Either way, perfection every time, and I don't have to fool with it. Smart fellow!

Lest anyone come to grief when attempting any of the suggestions given here, it goes without saying that eggs can only be properly boiled in a cast iron kettle on a gas stove.

Easiest way to peel a hard boiled egg:
Put the boiled egg in an empty peanut butter jar with a smidge of water. Shake it around good letting the egg bang against the bottom. Take the egg out and run it under the water while peeling & the shell will usually come off in one piece.
Last night I peeled 12 perfectly with this method & it took me maybe three minutes.

Kinda funny thread. But....
Bring water to a boil THEN add the eggs, reduce to medium, 8 minutes, creamy yolk, 12 minutes solid yolk. Run cold water over them to stop the cooking. Firm tap of each end of the egg, then sorta roll the middle to crack. Easiest peeling eggs ever.
Soft boiled is my favorite with just a dab of soy sauce on the yolk. Good stuff.

At 8,000 ft. - sure fire recipe is to buy them at Costco already hard-boiled to perfection and in a nicely sealed package - they taste and smell good, too. Great idea.... this is the best-yet! Hallelujah/Amen.

I generally eat a couple a day, but with my old hard surface stove, it took forever to bring the water up to a boil. A couple weeks ago the local farm store had these on sale for $15.00: https://www.hamiltonbeach.com/egg-cooker-25500Talk about an easy button. Pour in a little water, add eggs, turn on the switch, and 18 minutes later it buzzes & they're done. No muss, no fuss..... I bought one of these little suckers, too. A different brand name, but the same thing. We get fresh eggs from our son that has a dozen laying hens, or from the local Farmers Mkt. Fresh, hard boiled eggs are sometimes miserable, to peel. Not with this thing. I heard steaming was the way to go, and it is. I piss $20 a week down the toilet in beer & booze, at least, and don't think twice about spending it. Why not on something like this? Works good. And, unlike the beer & booze, you get to use it more than once.

We go thru a lot of boiled eggs, With the electric unit it can turn out perfect eggs and no one has to sit in the kitchen waiting for the timer. I boiled 5 or 6 dozen with it so far not one has been hard to peel and they are perfectly done. Whats not to like! The buzzer is so loud it can be heard from anywhere in the house. I takes up very little space in the cupboard and can be setup in seconds.

and older eggs make better hard boiled eggs, than fresh ones. A pin hole in the large end helps. 1/4 cup white vinegar in the water makes the hard boiled eggs better. Salt water

Wife has been baking them in muffin pans in the oven for the last year or so. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Drop in cold water when out of the oven. Easy. That's what I do too

How long do you let them chicken periods marinate? Looks tasty.
