    Put a good amount of salt in the water when you boil them. They will peel easily.

    I use the microwave egg cooker if I just have 3 or 4 to do, when done, directly to sink, open, run cold water, and let them sit in the cold water a lil while. If boiling a bunch, put eggs in pot, put on and turn burner on high, when it comes to full boil, turn burner off, put lid on, let sit 10 minutes, then to sink with cold water. Usually works, but I've had to fight with peeling boiled eggs before, and it is not fun! Like someone else said "Happy Crackin"!

    I usually buy my eggs 3-4 days before I need them, and use the ice bath method most of the time. I also have used two other methods at times. 1) Take a CLEAN (new) straight pin, and poke a small hole in the small end of the egg before cooking, or 2) Add 1 Tbsp white vinegar to water before cooking ( especially if these are new eggs)

    My daughter just showed me the greatest trick and I swear it works every time.
    Put the boiled egg in a glass and put enough water to just cover the top of the egg, put your hand over the top of the glass and shake vigorously over the sink take the egg out and the shells fall off

    I put cold water and salt in the water start my eggs out on medium temperature until they begin to boil rapidly I then put a lid on them let them cool on their own.After there cooled I run cold water over them I then crack the egg all over they peel so easy I peel them with my cold water running very slowly over them as I peel them,,,, Hope this helps

    The eggs should be lowered into already boiling water (this stops the egg from sticking to the inside of the shell) not placed into cold water and then brought up to the boil. Just heard this on a cooking show!
