I have chickens so I just age a dozen or so when I want boiled eggs. Put number desired in cold water, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and time for 20 minutes. Immediately drain and fill pan with cold water, add ice cubes to get really cold water. let sit a few minutes until eggs are cold. Peel immediately or refrigerate until needed. I like a boiled egg in my salad and this is the method I use. I also peel from the round end where the air pocket is. 99% of the time this works. but once in a while you get an egg that just won't peel nicely.
I have never tried them, but I have seen already boiled, peeled, and packaged eggs in the deli section of my grocery store. Pretty pricey but I guess some people like the convenience of not having to deal with boiling and peeling.
