Generally older eggs work better for hard boiling because the gaseous membrane will expand and give you a better purchase/seperation when peeling

A small amount of lemon juice like a slice of lemon will help soften the shells to make it easier.

The perfect boiled egg takes roughly 9 minutes submerged in boiling water

I peel my eggs by cracking them on the air pocket then peeling the rest of the shell off using my thumb (not the nail) under running cold water.

You learn to get good at peeling eggs when you have another grown man threatening to stab you to death if you don't do it fast enough.

I went back to a desk job recently and I'm not used to how cordial and polite everyone is.

I kinda miss it, maybe I have a masochist side I don't know about.

Former chef here, too. It's hard to get motivated without the threats.
