We use a cheap little kitchen appliance called the Egg Genie to boil our eggs following instructions, immediately take the eggs out when the little alarm sounds and put hot eggs immediately into a pan of cold water until cooled. Then refrigerate the eggs. We roll the boiled egg pressing down gently as we roll it on the kitchen counter to crush the cold egg shell in a lot of little cracks. The crushed shell slips off easy when peeled. If you peel a hot hard boiled egg the white will want to stick to the shell. I love the egg cooking appliances for boiling or poaching eggs - takes the mess and guesswork out of timing a cooking egg. Not every nifty appliance brands have room for poaching XL or Jumbo eggs but do a decent job for hard boiling bigger eggs. Our eggs are medium and small so no problems with having enough room inside the poaching elements of the egg appliances.
