If you just add ice cold water (even if it does have ice in it) to the eggs as soon as they come off the eye, they will peel right off.

I always use that method, but it seems some eggs stick no matter what I do.

That would get very frustrating. I love boiled eggs, just about any time of the day...except maybe before bed. lol I have no other method. Hopefully someone else does.

What I do to hard boil fresh eggs is I boil water and lower room temperature eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon. When the water boils again I shut off the heat and cover the pot for 15 minutes. I use a heavy stainless steel pot that holds the heat well. Then I place the eggs into a bowl of Ice water for a couple of minutes then back into the pot of hot water. Voila, easy peel eggs.

Mine always crack when I drop them in water that's already hot or boiling.

I'm going to give the eggies a shot anyways. I can pull the yolks out since nobody ever eats the yolks in pickled eggs. Then I can make eggs benedict with the yolks. That should make the eggs fit in the eggies too.

How do you do that? I always have a hard time peeling off the shells!

At first I was told you have to punch a hole with a push pin in the large end of the egg then lower them into a pan of boiling water, bring water back to a boil and boil 15 minutes when done dump them into a strainer then plunge into ice water with cubes for 15 minutes then peel sometimes the peels come off in halfs, lol. Oh and now I don't punch the hole. Try it.

What? Nobody eats the yolks in pickled eggs? Oh yes we do that best part. I love them. Your mean pull the hardboiled yolks out? Eggs benedict uses raw egg yolks, right? The eggs fit in the eggies I just couldn't get them all the way out
