Cooking on the stovetop always results in shells that won’t come off, for me anyway! Then I made my eggs in my Instant Pot for years and they were always perfect. 5 minutes on manual high pressure, 5 minutes depressurization time, 5 minutes in an ice bath. Now I make them in an egg cooker— $15 on Amazon— because clean up is easier and it’s a bit faster. Shells come off easily in there, too.

The Joy of Cooking stuffed eggs recipe is our favorite.

To keep shells from sticking to the egg, add some vinegar to the water.
