    The teaspoon trick really works. Old eggs do peel better. Place eggs in cold pan, cover with cold water, boil 10 minutes after water begins to boil, drain and immediately cover with cold tap water. Very simple. :wink:

    cook 12 mins, then immediately immerse into cold water,leave until required.
    cool egg boiling water and use to water plants,does wonders.

    We had fresh eggs on our farm and used to boil them for 15mins then into cold water immediately and peel them from the cold water pot. They almost pop out of the shell.

    Fresh eggs are always harder to peel. I like mine 5 to 7 days old.

    I love eggs fresh from the farmer!! Here is what I do and it hasn't failed it -- you get perfect hard boiled eggs. In a pan put 6 cups water, one tablespoon salt, 1/4 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil and gently add eggs. Boil for 15 minutes and rinse with ice cold water. Let sit for 15 minutes to cool. You don't taste the salt or vinegar. Your eggs should peel perfectly. Couldn't believe it the first time I tried it.

    I have chickens and when I boil eggs, I put them in a pot of cold water. I time them from when I turn them on instead of how long they boil. I cook them for 25 minutes total. When they are done I run them under cold water to cool them and the pot down and I cover them with ice. I let them sit for a few minutes in the ice and then peel. I almost never have a problem with them peeling, even if I boil them the day the chickens lay them.

    I had a chef tell me to tap hard boiled eggs on the top and bottom and then roll them between your hands to peel them easily!

    After boiling them and putting the eggs in cold water (change water to keep it cold) tap them all around the egg esp. middle section, then oll them in your hands - then peel.
