Very nice! I have some weird texture issues and hate tiny shell bits.
I’ve been on a pickled egg kick lately and I like cooking them in the Instant Pot. Best consistently peeling eggs I’ve ever made, and I haven’t had any green yolks. I love it.
I got one of those super simple egg cookers, and it does a surprisingly good job. As long as you measure the water correctly, you get the consistency and texture you want.
Cracking the egg shell seems to play a role too. Nowadays, I just smack the boiled egg on the table, and roll it while applying enough pressure to break the shell. This way, there can be a long crack along the equator and the rest is crumbled to a hundred pieces which are held together by the membrane. Some luck is also required, but usually this method is a lot cleaner than any other method I’ve tried before.
Once met an old Somali guy who did that bonk and roll style. Turns out, it was not messy at all, and it made the whole process a lot easier too. He really knew what he was doing. My previous style of picking each tiny piece one by one was way too hard and slow.
Rolling the egg crushes the shell in such a way that you get lots of small pieces that are still attached to the membrane. With this S-tier method, removing the shell is about as easy as peeling an orange.

My twin bought one of the simple egg machines and it works pretty well! I was surprised.
Yea, I’m shocked how cheap and simple these cookers are, but they still work so well. Talk about value for money.
I have seen those cookers but never had one. Me liking hardboiled eggs is a somewhat recent thing. Cold eggs never were very appealing to me.
I give them the same equator counter bonk and then peel them under running water. I’ll have to give the rolling method a shot next time.
Such a basic activity, yet we still have so many personal tips and tricks! 😄

I can only hope to pass along something so useful someday. Thank you, wise old Somali!
