🥚 Very fresh eggs tend to be harder to peel. The white sticks more tightly to the membrane.
🔥 Cooking method matters. Starting eggs in already-boiling water or steaming them often makes peeling easier.
❄️ Not cooling quickly can make peeling more difficult. Put them in an ice-water bath after cooking.
🐔 Eggshell/membrane differences can also make some eggs peel more cleanly than others.
For smoother peeled eggs: use eggs that are about 1–2 weeks old, cook them in boiling water/steam, then immediately chill them in ice water for about 10–15 minutes.
If by “rough” you mean the egg white itself has little rough bumps or a grainy texture after boiling, tell me—that can have a different cause.
