I finally nailed Momofuko eggs, for the type of eggs I use for them.

Steaming in a steamer basket for exactly 6 min and 40 seconds, then the cold water bath suggestion for a total of 5 minutes only was the frosting on the cake! Works perfectly now.

 
This time of year, I buy from a farmer at Farmers Market. They are brown eggs, labeled as large,

They are only days to one week old. I had a miserable time with store-bought eggs, Every batch had one or two eggs that just would not peel right. Now, with these eggs and the method I described, every egg has peeled perfectly. Love these eggs, and always have them in the fridge. I keep them in the marinade,
Also, I need to say that by the time I use up the entire carton, the eggs are older, of course. I usually have two dozen at home at a time. On Saturday, I made a fresh batch from eggs laid within 6 days. All perfect.
