That's interesting. Use the shaking method then! It does seem to work.

I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

I was told that the method outlined above prevents the green tingue which occasionally materialises around the perimeter of the yolk. And it appears to work in my cases.
That's good. I presume you mean green tinge and not green tongue (which is how I read your typo) .
There is now a whole other thread about boiling and peeling eggs! But so far not many entries for the recipe challenge...

Oooops!

You had better invent a new one then - or adapt one of them! Eggs are very versatile... I can't believe that you can't come up with a twist on an existing recipe. I'm counting on you!Oooops!

I had thought of Taiwanese tea eggs which I had in Taipei in the 90's but I've tried before and although they were not a disaster, they looked nothing like these:
Pretty. There are other ways to colour eggs too....
At 01.00 in the morning after drinking copious quantities of beer, tea eggs aren't going to hit the spot! Maybe fried eggs and bacon. But not tea eggs.
