For easy to peel hard boiled eggs, cool them slowly and peel while still warm. More detailed instructions: when done boiling, set the pot, undrained, in the sink with a butter knife under one side to slightly tilt the pot. Run a very thin stream of cold water from the faucet into the pot and go do something else for 20 minutes or so. When the eggs are comfortably warm, roll them against the inside of the sink until the shell is well cracked and they should slip easily out of the shell. If you get a stubborn one, just dip it back into the pot and it should pop out easily. Thanks Grandma for teaching me this one!
