First, don't boil them. Steam them. Steaming eggs makes even freshly
laid eggs easy to peel.
Peeling Hard Cooked Fresh Eggs
Steam them.
Put an inch or two of water in a pot.
Place eggs in a suitable container like a colander and put it in the
pot. Do not let the water touch the eggs.
Cover the pot.
Bring the water to a boil.
Continue boiling for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and time for another 10 minutes.
Fill the pot with cold water.
Take the eggs one by one and crack all over with the back of a spoon
then toss them back in the cold water.
Start peeling once all the eggs are cracked and the shells will slip
off easily.
