Answers:
1!. Put the eggs in one layer on the bottom of the pan!. Put the pan in the sink!. Run water into the pan until the water is 1 inch over the eggs!. Put the pan on a burner!. Turn it to medium-high heat!.
2!. Let the water come to a boil!. Put the lid on the pan when the water is boiling!. Move the pan onto a cold burner!. Set the timer for 15 minutes for Large-sized eggs (or for 12 minutes for Medium-sized eggs or for 18 minutes for Extra Large-sized eggs)!.
3!. Put the pan in the sink when the time is over!. Run cold water into the pan until the eggs are cool!. Put the eggs into the refrigerator if you're going to use them later or peel them if you're going to use them right away!. Be sure to use all the cooked eggs up before a week is over!.
4!. Gently tap a cooled egg on the countertop or table until it has cracks in it!. Roll the egg between your hands until the cracks turn into small crackles all over the egg!.
5!. Use your fingers to start peeling off the shell at the large end of the egg!. If you need to, you can hold the egg under running cold water or dip it in a bowl of water to make peeling easier!. Throw out the pieces of eggshell when the egg is all peeled!. You can eat the egg or use it in a recipe when it's peeled!.

Tap your hard boiled egg on the counter to start cracking the shell!. Roll it around until it has tiny cracks all over the shell!. Place in a bowl of cold water and let set for 15 - 20 minutes!. Enough water should have seeped through the cracks in this amount of time to help separate the shell a bit from the egg and it will be much easier to peel!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always add a little vinegar to my water!. I've also heard that it helps to add salt too!. Unfortunately some of the shells still stick!. I have also heard that the fresher the eggs are the more the shells stick!. Your first answer about how to cook them is, I agree, the best preparation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boil with salt in the water and when done cooking run under cold water and peel immediately!.

I peel by cracking the egg all over first and then rolling it gently and then start to peel from the top or bottom and it should just come off in one piece pretty muchWww@FoodAQ@Com

use older eggs!. super-fresh, just-laid eggs will not part w/ their shells easily!. use eggs a couple weeks old, if possible!. For instance, if you know you are making deviled eggs for an event 2 weeks away, buy the eggs now!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put salt into the water in the pot!.!.!. make sure it was evenly disolved in the water and boil with the eggs!.
I have tried it, you may try it also!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

after you've boiled them run under cold water til cool enough to roll along your work top the shell should crack then once you removed the first little bit the rest should just peel off most of the time it will come off in one piece

I let them soak in an icewater bath as soon as I take them off the stove!. Then I keep them in the fridge until ready to eat, then Ipeel them under cold running water!. Works like a charm!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

run them through cold water before you peel them!.!. it makes them easier to come off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
