Nonsense! LOL....
There is a thread (at least one) on the FAQ page that describes various methods.
I just did a bunch yesterday. They peeled so easily that I got the shell off in two or three pieces. Here is my method:
Bring water to a boil, enough to cover the eggs. Add about 3 Tbsp table salt for 6 eggs. Set eggs in rapidly boiling water. Boil 14 minutes while you prepare ice water. Quickly drain thoroughly, and immediately place in bowl of ice water, with enough ice that cubes will remain when the eggs are cold.
I actually suspect the salt is unnecessary and it will work with just the sudden heat then sudden cold, but haven't tried it yet.
The salt does not get into or salt the eggs themselves.
