Does anyone know how to cook hard boiled eggs that are EASY to peel? I've followed MANY...

I start them from the fridge in cold water, bring to boil cook for 4-5 minutes. Put right away in cold water for a couple minutes. They come out of the shell easy

after boiling them hard put them in cold water for 15 minutes, take them out, tap them gently on a hard surface until the shell is cracked all over, they are then ready to be pealed

I start them
In cold water, a splash of vinegar, let the water boil , let them cook about 15 minutes.

While cooking i fill a bowl with/.water, place in the freezer.

Remove eggs from boiled water and place in the bowl in freezer. Give them about 10 minutes

Remove, tap both ends on hard surface, place on its side, gently but slightly firmly , roll. The shell should come off easily. Good luck.

The cooking process is not as important as the age of the eggs. Older eggs do not adhere to the shell as much as fresh eggs.

Nope, you're outta luck I'm afraid. Chipping that shell off, at early morning breakfasts, was the end of my sanity...and boiled eggs.

I cook them in my instant pot and the shells fall off.

Do you immediately submerge them in ice water and peel them after like 1 minute? I find waiting too long to peel them causes that issues

I make them in the Instant Pot. Super easy, and I haven't had any issues when peeling them.

I steam them but make a small hole on the large end first. steam them for ten minutes I put them into cold water. They seem to shell easier.

After cooking roll them and the shell just comes away.

Crack a little and leave in cold water for 5 minutes after boiling 👍

dancingtongue's answer. And make sure the eggs are at room temperature before boiling.

Boil them with baking soda or salt
