Hmm, I’m curious what the method is. I’ll have to look it up. My method also results in very easy to peel eggs. Basically put eggs in cold water, bring to boil, then time it from there. I go to 10 minutes because of medical reasons (I can’t have undercooked food), but normally I’d go to 7 mins or so. After hard boiling, I take the eggs out with a slotted spoon, drop into a bowl and run cold water over that for a minute or two. The shells fall off when I do it this way.
