    We have 30 chickens, we get fresh eggs every day. We can cook them the same day after they’re laid with a dash rapid egg cooker which uses steam. It comes with a little device to poke a hole in the wide end where the air pocket usually is and then we just cook them upside down. They peel easily whether they’ve been in cold water or not.

      Eeeey, we have that machine as well! Device to poke holes that doubled as the measuring cup for the water to put into the steam unit! Cool stuff!

      Pressure cooker will force steam between the membrane and egg with no hole needed so you get the same effect with longer shelf life - probably doesn’t matter if you have your own chickens and are in the routine of doing it daily but I prefer no poking of holes so I can make a weeks worth at a time and if I forget them they stay fresh in their unbroken shells
