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.
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!
