What I recently learned is that if you steam eggs the shells come right off almost in a whole piece. I bought a dozen eggs at the supermarket,went straight home,followed the instructions at the link below and it was unbelievable how easy they were to peel.

Forget Hard Boiling Eggs – Steamed Eggs are Easy to Peel

Fascinating. Thanks. I usually keep an "old dozen" for boiling & use the new dozen for all other egg dishes.
