How many times have I said this?? The only sure-fire way to peel a
fresh hard-boiled egg is to cook them in a small appliance called an
-- wait for it -- egg cooker! I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
They are under $30, take up very little cupboard space, and last
forever. Mine is from 1962 and I use it a couple times a month. ;-)
