Nowadays all I get is AI slop articles about “other ways to cook eggs”.

EDIT: Managed to solve this issue, and I like the way the comment section has gone nuts.

    I’ve also noticed that if I let them cool for very long, it also gets harder to peel.

      From working in commercial kitchens where Id do 50-100+ for breakfast every day:

      first boil them, then straight into an ice bath. The temperature shock will contract the whites away from the membrane a little. (This also helps prevent carryover cooking)

      Then, fish the eggs out, roll them along a hard surface to crack a band around the middle, then into a second cool, but not freezing bucket of water with a cloth, and use the cloth underwater to gently peel the shells away.
