Eggs used to have a round end and a pointy end. I have been noticing, over the past few months, that increasingly I have to really look hard to see which is which. Is someone doing something weird to chickens that increases the symmetry?

@helenczerski Hahaha, I noticed that as well. 'Cause I'm never sure which end to poke with a needle before boiling them. 🙈
So I'm curious about the explanation, too 🙂

highly recommend shining strong light through it to find the air bubble , LED-Flashlight/torch or the light form your smartphone works best I find

@Kultanaamio @_maleficentgirl @helenczerski We don't prick them with a needle. You can boil the egg by putting it into cold water, put the pot on the cooker normally, and then count the minutes from when it boils. Because the heating is much slower the egg does not break. Also saves energy, for a normal soft-boiled egg you need 2-3 minutes cooking time.

Even better I cook hard boiled eggs by covering them with cold water in a pan. Bring it to a boil. Turn it off and let it sit for a half hour.
