Boiling The Perfect Egg

J. Kenji López-Alt is mostly a stay-at-home dad responsible for all the meals in his household. As an essential part of his planning, he relies on a supply of boiled eggs in the refrigerator.

During one of the years in his egg-citing cooking adventures, he became curious and asked himself, “What's the best way to boil an egg?” This question would then lead to a multi-decade endeavor.

Thought it was just me with the peeling thing. Everyone has a method. Mine is to immediately ice them down and then start at the large end where there's usually a gap between the shell and the egg. Works about 95% of the time.

I gave up on hard-boiling eggs years ago. Dunno what has changed with eggs, but it has become increasingly difficult for me to hard-boil them where they can easily be peeled.
Pro Tip: Put a dozen or more raw eggs in a metal baking pan and place it in a cold oven. Set the oven on convection bake @ 350F for 45 minutes. Perfectly baked eggs every time, that can easily be peeled.
