Default Anyone tried "hardboiling" eggs in the oven?

I wouldn't bother. Quicker just to boil them.

Here's an interesting finding regarding peeling of HB eggs:

This past week, I hard boiled 4 old (but still good) eggs. Once they
were done, I put two hot ones in a bowl and right into the fridge to
use later. The other two, I wanted to use immediately so I put them in
cold running water to cool down fast.

The ones I cooled immediately peeled like a charm. Later that night, I
took out the refridgerated ones and those 2 were a peeling diaster. I
butched the egg whites getting the shells off.
