Boiled Eggs

Just add a couple tablespoons of distilled vinegar into the cooking liquid. I've cooked and peeled more eggs than you care to know about...
Don't think I'd like the idea of a hairpinned egg either.

I think I'd rather go through all the trouble of dealing with the water to boil than placing eggs in a frappin muffin tin. That's a "hack"?

I feel the same way but thought I'd post it FYI.
I got that impression from you. What some folks will do, huh?
Yeah. Guess it works. But far from efficient. Love having hard boiled eggs handy in the fridge.
That's hard boiled, not hard baked, [emoji6]
But seriously it's one of nature's most perfect foods.
I couldn't agree more, equalled only by other forms of perfectly cooked egg (or steak, or bacon, or schweisnhaxen, or green beans, or artichokes, or . . . dadgummit)
Indeed it is! (except for misspelling schweinshaxen. I could really go for a good schweinshaxe about now).
I buy farm fresh eggs just up the road. I mentioned that I was making pickled eggs and was told to add a little vinegar while boiling. Does it make a difference . . . I don't know. That batch worked ok.
Thanks Mike, will give the vinegar a go. Buy our eggs at the local farmers market, they must be fresh as they look like a lunar landscape when finished peeling those that are hard boiled. I've been dating the cartons upon purchase and holding a few eggs back for the hard boiled needs. The olds results is a night/day difference.

It makes sense that vinegar being an acid would dissolve some of the calcium carbonate eggshell but I haven't been using vinegar. I'll have to try it and see if it makes a difference.
I see "AnotherChef" mentioned the vinegar up a way. I guess that confirms the tip from my local egg seller.
A side benefit is if any of the eggs are cracked and leak, the leaked egg should congeal quicker and make less of a mess.
