How has no one responded with correct response: steaming eggs.

Seriously, every egg peels super easy after I steam them for 15 minutes. My grandpa has bought a steamer because I brought mine to his house.

I tried this once, but stupid me didn't think it through all the way. My steamer basket is for the microwave.. do not steam eggs in a microwave steamer.

Instant pot 5-5-5 recipe has never let me down.

A simpler method is to just add a little salt to the water, and they peel easily. Vinegar works too.

It also helps to leave a tiny bit of the egg above water. This will create an air pocket in the egg, and if you start peeling it from there, it will be a lot easier.

The egg always has an air pocket on the bottom, at the blunt end. This is an air pocket that the developing chicken embryo uses for gas exchange. See the diagram:

Yes, though the air pocket is there right from the start. If you pierce the bottom of the shell with a pin before boiling then the egg will have less of a dent at the bottom after boiling, giving a more uniform shape.

Also removes the pressure when cooking and helps the shell to separate.

if you fully submerge them, the airpocket will be on the bottom (fat side) of the egg. IIRC, eggs always have an air pocket there.
