Any tricks for peeling egg shells without destroying the egg when the
shell is very thin?

For very fresh eggs , drop them GENTLY into a pan of boiling water
(slotted spoon) , when done move them into a pan of ice water . The thermal
shock will loosen the shell so it can be removed with minimum damage .

Exactly. If you put the eggs in water and then bring it to a boil they
will be harder to peel I also roll the egg on the counter to break up
the shell all over, then peel.

NaCl in the H2O. Salt the water.

NaCl in the H2O. Salt the water.

Some folks say to put baking soda in the water. It seems to help.

What is the salt or sodium bicarb supposed to do?

Sounds like an old wive's tale.

I can't speak from experience but the baking soda in the
water is supposed to help with peeling. But the best way
to insure you eggs will peel with ease the eggs are at
least 2 weeks old. The air bubble increases with age
thus making the boiled egg easier to peel.

I don't profess to know the chemistry of it, but it seems to work for me.
All I can suggest is try it for yourself, you have nothing to loose.

I have good luck with Julia Child's method, although I generally
boil standard grocery-store eggs:

Don't boil fresh eggs. Leave them in the fridge for AT LEAST a week
before boiling - 2 ir more weeks is better.

Man, no WONDER my FARTS smelled so bad as a kid
after having soft boiled eggs at my grandma's!

I asked her if I could have some more, she just stuck
her head in the room, winced, and exclaimed, "I think
you've had just about enough!"

Seems a natural topic for folks to drift(down) into,
but in the interest of keeping home.repair about
nuts, bolts, and toilets, I'll help show such discourse
the door...
