6 minutes in my Instant Pot. put a cup of water in the bottom, the eggs of a strainer, seal it and go -- perfect every time. The pressure also gets between the egg and the shell, separating the two. The shell just peels away cleanly and easily. You can do 1 or a couple dozen in the same 6 minutes.

Definitely recommend a pressure cooker. We set ours to cook for 4 minutes, but factor in a little more for the time required to come to pressure.

1. Put 4 eggs in a small pan
2. fill pan with cold water until eggs are submerged
3. bring to boil, go to step 4 immedialety
4 as soon as boiling remove pan from burner and cover and sit for ten minutes.
5. plunge under cold water and remove shells.

This.
I make a batch, peel them, and put them in a covered, glass Rubbermaid container with a paper towel in the bottom. Take out a couple every morning to eat as is or mash up with mayo for egg salad.

My wife purchased a hard boiled egg maker. I made fun of her for it, but I'm sold now. We have 3 chickens and they produce 2-3 eggs/day. Every Sunday she hard boils a dozen or more eggs and makes deviled eggs seasoned with Harissa. Usually Harissa is kind of expensive in grocery stores, but I found a brand at the local Grocery Outlet that's cheap so I bought 4-5 jars and we've been livin' like royalty.

We snack on them throughout the week. It's delicious.

I like my eggs hatched and then grilled. :yum:

My son bought a little electric egg cooker. It works well.

Why peel them? I think they will last longer in shell.

How have I been doing it lately?

Electric hot water kettle... drop in a couple or three eggs. Overfill with water enough to cover, plus a cup of tea's worth.
Turn on. Allow to boil. Start 8 minute timer. Pour water for a cup of tea. Leave the kettle alone for 8 minutes.
When the timer beeps, dump hot water out, flush with cold. Remove eggs.
Caveat: I like my hard boiled eggs slightly under-done. Not quite "soft boiled", but a certain orange tint and non-crumbly, non-liquid, softness. Add a minute or two if you like a more "done" egg.

Way too much work and clean up. =)
