We buy the eggs high in omega 3. We have been having issues with hard boiling them. The cooking times are usually off (underboiled) and the shells are horrible when trying to peel.

Anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion? We've hard boiled them in an air fryer and the usual stove top method.

Skip those eggs and find a good local source of yard eggs from local chickens. Your Farmer's Market will have a selection or you can likely find someone nearby who is selling them from their back yard.

At the end of the day, pastured eggs are probably the healthiest type of eggs you can buy. They are more nutritious, and the hens that laid them were allowed free access to the outside and ate a more natural diet.

If you can't get pastured eggs, omega-3-enriched eggs are your second best choice. If you can't get either pastured or omega-3 eggs, try to find eggs that are either free-range, cage-free or organic.
My son has chickens and we eat a LOT of eggs. The best way by far we have found to "hard boil" them is in the Instant Pot. We like ours soft boiled so we do them for FOUR minutes, then instant pressure release, and put them into an ice bath for five minutes. They are by far the easiest peeling eggs we've ever tried. I like to sprinkle a little Slap-yo-Mama on mine. If you like your eggs with firmer yolks, increase to five, six, or seven minutes until you get the texture you prefer.
