I always use an egg piercer 1st (don't have 1 use a heavy sewing needle to piece large end of egg slightly); helps create wall of water around the membranes & easier to peel after cooking. Bring to boil, remove from heat, cover & let set 15 min. Run under cold water & peel. If egg floats/stands up on end in water b4 cooking it is old/do not use, best to toss out.

I, too, came here to see how to easily peel an egg. The best thing I have found is using a Pampered Chef avocado peeler. Roll the hard cooked egg on the counter to crack and then slide the peeler under the membrane. Even fresh eggs peel easily!

I have tried this method of cooking hardboiled eggs, and it works great. No more green yolks. the only difference is that I only let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10min. I have not tried the vinegar in the water. Will try this next time to see if the eggs are easier to peel.

I add a few drops of vegetable oil to the water and it has worked for me.

I always pour in a couple TBS of vinegar into the cold water - makes easier to peel. I don't remove from heat for those 15 minutes, I leave it on LOW.

Peeling eggs is easy if you don't use very fresh ones! The older, the easier to peel (within limits, of course!).

I'm having the same problem - I get recipes but nothing on how to peel hard cooked eggs - this is very frustrating...I've already spent 10 minutes trying to find one simple thing on tasteofhome.com/peel and get everything but. I'm giving up. DJ from NJ

I see what you're saying "drev24", but if you watch the video above, it shows peeling. But it's nothing new. Just roll on the counter and peel
