Sounds oddly familiar. I think I might have heard something like that before. Older eggs are easier to peel or something.

An egg farmer told me to add vinegar to the water when boiling eggs and for whatever reason it's worked great for us for years.

Never a single peel like this one though...

😅

They're connected. It was difficult to photograph the bridge clearly.

I got one of those super simple egg cookers, and it does a surprisingly good job. As long as you measure the water correctly, you get the consistency and texture you want.

Cracking the egg shell seems to play a role too. Nowadays, I just smack the boiled egg on the table, and roll it while applying enough pressure to break the shell. This way, there can be a long crack along the equator and the rest is crumbled to a hundred pieces which are held together by the membrane. Some luck is also required, but usually this method is a lot cleaner than any other method I've tried before.

Or a seagull. Ever seen how they swallow large fish? Actually, some are so ambitious that they literally bite off more than they can swallow.

I got the cheapest egg boiler and it came with a tiny cup you use for measuring the water. The bottom of it has a short dull needle you can use to poke a hole at the round end of the egg before boiling. Yes, I read the instructions.

Next, you place the eggs into the machine with the hole pointing down. This way, steam can probably enter the hole, which does something. Don't know what, but the end result is that the shell comes off rather easily.

Can confirm. Only way to make this day better would require curing cancer and ending all wars.
