havent seen anyone add this yet in the comments so here goes: are you adding the eggs to already-boiling water? or adding them to cold water and bringing them to a boil? i switched over to adding them to boiling water, and have had no trouble peeling since. 7mins for over-medium. no ice bath necessary, i just run a little cold water over them so i can handle them easily.

    I always boil the water first, so i can't speak to that portion. But what I do is add the boils to a sealed container with cold water. Then give it a good shake so that shells crack, but not so hard the eggs themselves are damaged. But after that the shells slide right off

    Yeah, the best peeling trick I know is a mason jar with a little water in it and you just shake the egg around like a bartender with a sleeping child next to them.

    Riskier with soft boiled eggs though.
