It was so satisfying. No egg shell crumbs to clean up. Feels like I’m playing breakfast in very easy mode.
Edit: It happened again, but this time I got a better photo.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I skimmed the thread. Use eggs very close to their printed expiration date and they will be easier to peel. The membrane separates from the albumen a lot easier. Sometimes if I want deviled eggs I plan a few weeks ahead and buy eggs in advance.
Have an ice water bath ready for eggs that are done boiling as well. I don't really have an explanation for that one. Maybe the coldness hardens the whites enough to where they break less during the peeling process. I know it stops the yolk from continuing to cook so you can better control that outcome.
I live near a brewery that has smoked pickled eggs. I'm not much of a drinker but the cravings for the pickled eggs send me there often enough.
Sounds oddly familiar. I think I might have heard something like that before. Older eggs are easier to peel or something.
