I was going to post this. Wife showed me this trick last week, never heard of it before, guess she has done it since she was a kid. Works great, no more torn up eggs as you try to peel the fresh ones.

When you add vinegar to the water and boil fresh eggs how long do they need to be boiled?

I have noticed the same thing. It drives me nuts. I boil them, soak them in cold water and still half the egg peels and get mangled when I shell it. Glad to know I am not just imagining it.
