Instapot here, wife just loves the way they peel.
Easy peel put 4-6 eggs in a quart jar add about 1/4 jar of water put lid on and shake till shells are cracked good, slide shells off under runing cold water.
Put eggs in pot, fill with cold water, bring to boil, cover. Move to cold burner, let cool one hour. Rinse well in cold water. Fill cool pot with ice cubes and cold water. 20 minutes later peel eggs.
Takes longer to tell then it takes to do.

I use my Instant Pot cooker. 5 minutes high pressure, 5 minutes natural release then manual release, then 5 minutes in ice water. Glorious! My wife was a skeptic, now she always has me do them.
I boil eggs for about 8 minutes and then dump the hot water and let the cold water from the faucet run over the eggs to cool them and once cool they peal easily. Very seldom do I have an egg that is hard to peal. Cracking them all around the shell and getting to the film seems to make the difference to me.
I belong to the Instant Pot crowd. I pressure cook them at low pressure, then place in cold water and they peel effortlessly regardless of how fresh they are.
On the other hand, I have poached eggs every other day for breakfast. I use a stove top egg poacher similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/ExcelSteel-52...s%2C321&sr=8-6
After the pan comes up to a boil, turn it down to simmer, and it takes 5.0 minutes for a perfect poached egg.

Are you folks using room temperature eggs or cold ones from the fridge when describing your technique?
Boiling water start works best for me. https://www.elizabethrider.com/perfe...d-boiled-eggs/

I just take eggs direct from the refrigerator. After they are boiled, cooled, then back in the frig for storage until needed.

From the fridge to the instant pot I do 2 doz at a time.
Before I retired, I worked in an office area with myself, a sergeant, and 3 officers. I often fixed scrambled egg sandwiches for my crew and always had fresh eggs in my lunch box. One night, I felt like an egg salad sandwich, another night just a hard boiled egg. I pierced the fat end of the egg, put it in the microwave for 3 minutes at %30 power. Perfect egg every time, no explosions. I was asked 'how did you do that?' and of course I replied 'that's why I'm the lieutenant.'

boil twenty mins hard rolling boil, remove,place in freezer for 24 hrs. then place in suitable container for transport. Once your at the range, place on golf tees at suitable distances, warm up for the tack shoot with frozen scramblers. These biodegradable targets also help to lower lead levels in most firearms.
This is the only thing I could think of to do with boiled eggs they're just about the perfect target. With no clean up, sometimes you get the added freebee of a crow shoot wilst shooting the eggs.
Not picking on you or your post, but does anyone remember the tee shirts that said "Want to lose 20 pounds of ugly fat? Cut off your head!"
Sorry, your first sentence made me remember that from the 1960's!

I've always boiled eggs like My Dad taught Me.
Put eggs in pot w/cover, fill with cold water to cover eggs. Bring to boil, turn off burner. KEEP the cover on. Let sit until water is cold. Peel egg under cold running water.
Very easy. Just remember to break the membrane when you start to peel. Probably the most important thing when peeling Hard Boiled eggs.

My oldest daughter told us she does them in her air fryer. We did a dozen fresh eggs in our air fryer, set it for 15 minutes at 230 degrees. When the timer goes off, dump into an large bowl with water and ice cubes until they cool and then peel. Crack the egg and the shell comes off in 2 pieces (or a few more if you're fumble fingered like me ) Yolks were perfectly done with a nice yellow color.
