For reference, I used 8 large eggs. I brought the water to a full rolling
boil and never turned it down. I peeled the eggs when fully cold and peeled
them from the pointy end. I started cracking the eggs from the point and
cracked longitudinally. There was a space between the membrane and the
white of the egg and the shell came off in 2-3 pieces.
