Don't know that for sure but my local Vons had an in store special AA ex
large for 99 cents - I bought 2 doz. - and yes they were getting to be a
short life.

I put the dozen in a large pot with more water than necessary and brought
the eggs to a boil under s slow flame. After about 5 minutes of a slow boil
I turned off the flame, covered the pot and forget about the eggs. Later
when the water was cool they all pealed with almost no effort - Why - I'll
be go to hell if I know.
