There is a real answer to this, and I think that it’s so hard to get a definitive answer that it shows the limits on current approaches to information technology.

Here’s the answer: steam the eggs. Doesn’t matter what temperature the eggs or the water start at. Just put an inch of water in the pan and put the eggs in with a lid on top. Cook them like that and you’ll get easy peel eggs every time. It took me years to discover this but once I started doing it this way I never even thought about it again.
