BTW, for hard-boiled eggs of perfection DO NOT BOIL. Bring to a boil,
cover, and turn off heat. Eggs will cook very nicely without hard
boiling. The flavor is better, and they peel easier too.

What makes the flavor better?

Eggs that are overcooked taste sulfurous and rubbery.

Eggs that are fresh peel easier.
