I follow the [rolling technique](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLjCDNoRC-g) to crack all my eggs. Most of the time the shell splits into 2 easily separable pieces. Every so often the technique fails and rolling the egg results in very small cracks making it very difficult to peel. Is it the way I’m boiling/storing/cracking the eggs? Please ELI5.

I’d like to know as well.
I have tried:
– use older eggs
– use fresh eggs
– put salt in the water
– put vinegar in the water
– drop into already boiling water
– start in cold water and let it boil
– shock with cold water
And probably several other techniques.
It seems random to me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Murphy’s Law clearly applies here as well. If I need eggs for something where the appearance doesn’t matter (egg salad), they generally peel nicely. If I need them to look nice (deviled eggs) then it’s a struggle to peel them and they look terrible 😂
