I've sadly found store bought eggs seem to peel better than the farm fresh eggs we get
Eggs that are older tend to peel better the fresh eggs. Which is why I look for them when I'm doing pickled eggs. Doesn't make them old. Or bad.

I've still found a difference for some reason. My girlfriend's sister has chickens and the last time we saw her we got 8 dozen eggs... She hand writes harvest dates on each carton. We had some that were 2-3 months old and still peeled terribly.
I certainly consider myself to be in the category of "can't peel an egg" and I always prefer soft boiled. But I always seem to have an easier time with store bought.
Heck we've had cartons old enough for half the eggs to be bad and the good ones STILL peeled worse

Late to the party on this one but cooking related it’s boil and peel eggs. I have tried all the suggestions and NONE work for me. Salt, cold water, timing, cold eggs , room temp eggs, Instant Pot etc. I still destroy them when peeling. I haven’t tried baking soda yet but dilly expect the same results lol.
If you have SV unit, 20 mins @ 190° , ice bath. Never failed me yet.

No singing and no art of any sort. Throwing plastic filler (bondo) on cars no problem. Painting a car no problem. Only other thing I am told I don’t suck at is driving, even my better half agrees.

That's a new one to me. How do you finish?
Heard the Instapot method to shake them to crack the shells while still warm.
I do the water bath to boil, let sit for 12 minutes and ice bath cool. I use a teaspoon to run under the shell.

Shaving here. I always seem to get at least one nick or cut. Also I hate trimming my mustache or beard when I grow one. The trimming never comes out even.

I'm no good on ladders or ice skates. I've biked 100's of miles so that and roller skates I can manage.

I can think of two things. 1. Keeping from staining my shirts no matter how careful I am. All my shirts have stains. It's inevitable.
2. Remembering things. I almost forgot what number two was as I was writing number one. I had to stop and think lol

I'm the same. No matter how careful I am, my shirts are a diary of everything I've eaten, lol.

Beard trimming and using left hand are trouble makers here.
I have been trying to train my left hand to do simple tasks like eating, writing, loading my tobacco pipe, the paperwork involved after dropping the kids off at the pool.

Growing a retirement. Not sure why, but I just suck at it.

Paperwork. Especially if it's on computer. I truly suck at it. My wife is an accountant, so she handles it all.

Keeping my smart mouthed comments to myself.

Spell and write. Haha I can spell for crap and can hardly read my own handwriting. It’s actually helped me out with the not being able to spell with a damn. Can’t read it, ya can’t tell me i misspelled it 😂
