    I always just run cold water over my boiled eggs and they peel easy everytime.

    this. i've never had an issue peeling eggs. the shell usually comes off in 2 or maybe 3 at most pieces when you use cold water

    Oh, man. I hope this works. I hate to try to peel eggs. :grumble:

    Same here, all throughout my career as a cook, I had other folks peel those things.

    they're horrid, so I'm going to try this. :)

    Awesome I am so trying this. I love my hardboiled egg whites for snacks/breakfast but peeling them has proven to be a pain.

    I've tried this and found it really didn't work consistently.

    The only trick I've come across that works (and has continued to for a while - even with fresh eggs) is to bring your water to a boil first, then add your eggs, and cook for 12 minutes or so. Then drain them and cool off under cold water, and maybe some ice.

    Fresh eggs (day old) were a nightmare to peel for soft-boiled AND hard boiled. Ugh. I even did the ice bath I always do for the hard ones.
