Boiled Eggs that peel

What’s y’all’s method?

By the pre-peeled packages at Costco.

I always put the eggs in water, bring to a boil and boil for ten minutes.

Bring water to a boil, THEN add eggs, boil for 10 minutes, transfer to ice bath.

Heavily salt the water, the shells will peel right off. No need to poke holes or do anything else, salt works every time. And no, the eggs are not salty, drain the water and peel once cool.

We eat a shite ton of eggs. Making holes don’t do anything. I’ve tried every way imaginable and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. The longer I let them sit after boiling seems to work the best. That membrane has to slightly separate from the egg white. Sometimes I just break it myself then run under water and finish peeling.

Air fryer 10 minutes then in a bowl of cold water in the sink for 5 minutes is foolproof

This feels like explosion potential.

(I say that as somebody who blew open their microwave door by cooking an egg.)

Here's my go-to method that works ALMOST all the time.

Put eggs in cold water, bring water to a boil and boil till done to your ideal.

I immediately drain the hot water and start running cold water over the eggs to cool them down and while doing this I crack all the eggs real good. Then I'll add several ice cubes to the water to chill it good before I start peeling.

As long as you get below the membrane that is between the shell and the egg, they should peel easily, but every once in a while you will butcher an egg, but not often.

Thanks for all the info!

I use the Kenji-Lopez method now. Way easier to peel.
