LOL, he breaks them, so I'd say do the above....but put the eggs in the pan 1st, then fill with water and boil. Load it with salt it will raise the boiling point and quick seal cracks should they develop.

I boil the water. Add the eggs. 15 minutes. Cold water to cool them. They peel easy and are not green. I will try the salt/vinegar trick...but mine mostly come apart in a few large chunks of shell.

We start with the water boiling ease the eggs in for 7 min then drain them off and run under cold water. Never had any problems, if you have xl eggs you many go 8 min.
Everyones body is different and can assimilate protien at a different rate. To find out how much your body can handle start at 40g every two to 3 hours. The gage is your farts if you have the horrible swamp gas farts that hang around for what seems like 10 min or more with out going away, you've hit the limit of your protien intake. Otherwise keep going, the though just like the Animial pack vitamins if your not going past the amount your body can handle then your not getting to the max it can handle.

Perfect boiled eggs:
1) pot, water, small towel, eggs. Towel is used to keep the eggs from cracking as the water boils and rolls them around
1a) salt and/or vinegar in the water is bs and does not contribute to success of cooking eggs or of peeling them. It simply adds a salinity and/or acidity, both of which contribute to denaturing the egg protein in the event the shell cracks and egg escapes. It helps keep the egg in the shell because it "cooks" it as its escaping. Kind of a self-healing type of thing.
2) start all from room temp/cold and bring to a boil. You need to watch near the boiling point so u can accurately time the whole process.
3) as soon as water boils start timer for 11 minutes.
4) have an ice bath ready to shock the eggs immediately after 11 minutes is up.
5) transfer eggs immediately into ice water. I usually put pot of boiling water under cold tap water until tap has replace boiling water and eggs can be grabbed by the hand and put in the ice bath. (It takes about 30 seconds cold tap water to do this) let the eggs sit in the icebath for at least 10 minutes.

Wow. Old thread.
I found the best method (was close to what was said already), put eggs in cold water (add salt or vinegar if you want), bring up to boil for 1 minute, then shut off. Cover pot and let sit 15 min. This will keep the eggs from over cooking. At 15 min. cool down quickly in cold water/ice water.
Perfect eggs with less cooking.

Best way is through this thing on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Rapid-Egg-Cooker-Scrambled/dp/B00DDXWFY0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1526513170&sr=8-3&keywords=egg+boilerIt doesn't matter if the shells are fresh or old - they peel beautifully every time.
