here is a link, she shows a loaf pan but use what fits your pot.

I believe eggs from the store are never fresh. I start with room temp eggs, bring to boil 11 minutes, leave pan on burner but turn heat off. Hard boiled eggs are usually in our refrigerator. Mother had chickens & I recall her setting eggs aside to “age” so they would peel easily.

I add lots of salt which makes the shells come off easier, and I use vinegar, it prevents a mess if one of them break in the water. It helps them clump so its not as bad and lots of times it can save an egg if its only a crack

Salt the water real good as eggs boil and they will peel right off. An old boyfriend taught me that trick. Also if you plunge the just boiled eggs into cold water immediately, they won't have the green edge around the yolk.
