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.
Don’t expect it to work 100% of the time because it doesn’t. It’s not enough of an improvement (if it even is actually an improvement – debatable) for me to justify the extra electricity cost.
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.

Funnily enough, I add them when the water is cold and never had trouble. Just run the tap for maybe 10 seconds and let it sit for a bit
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks unknown stranger.

Riskier with soft boiled eggs though.
