While this is true, I have found that putting white vinegar in the water when you cook them actually makes them peel easier. We have chickens, so super fresh eggs, no trouble peeling them.

i read that white vinegar thing too, and heard it was to really prep the shell for better easter egg painting

Yeah I found most of those color tablets they sell with the easter egg kits have some sort of acid int hem since it smells all sour when you plonk it down into the water. But never heard the thing about peeling and vinegar, hmm might have to try it next time. Nothing more frustrating and anger inducing when you go to peel a hard boiled egg and like 1/2 the white comes off with the shell while fucking around with it for 10 min.

I'm told that poking a hole in the wide end, the end with the air pocket before the ice water also helps. The idea that as everything shrinks that little bit going from hot to cold, it sucks up some cold water and that ends up lubing between shell and egg.
never tried it, don't often make hardboiled eggs.

reading about it seems really making the egg nice and firm makes a difference so instead of boiling try steaming since with steam it'll be constant (and no temp drop as opposed to putting eggs in boiling water), with that whats better than steam, but steam under pressure? instapot we go.
i went overboard with this egg basket lol
from what i see 24 is the max size you can get (regular ones are 14 eggs/18) do i need that many??? no... but i live in ks now so who knows when i'll be called upon to make devil'd eggs.
and i wanted one with the handles b/c the handles do make it easy to get shit outta the pot.
i know, you're all thinking like me, can'tt we just put em in a steam basket? well then the egg shells will be touching other egg shells and you'll be losing surface area since you're steaming and not boiling, it'll make a difference, so might a well just do it right.

I recently found out about the instant pot + ice bath method and the first two times I did it they peeled great but the last batch I did the egg is half gone by the time you get it peeled. I'm going to keep doing them that way but it totally failed last time.

I started eating cottage cheese when I moved to Europe because it is light, creamy, and delicious. So one year when I was back in the US visiting I bought some. It was sour, slimy, and disgusting. I have no clue why it is so different and I was wondering if anyone here knows how it is made differently.
