This question arises every year about this time. While some methods are better than others I think a few things are universal. This is the way I use to do it:
A. Don't overcook. I let them sit for a few minutes in warm water then bring them to a boil. TURN OFF the stove and let them sit for 20 minutes. The addition of salt or vinegar helps.
B. Submerge the eggs in ice water for 10 minutes.
After trying many other methods with varying success I found this one easier and got less egg salad.
Using a push pin drill a small hole in the large end of the egg. Follow step A. above.
Tap the egg all over with the back of a spoon. Breaking the shell. Then use the spoon to remove the shell.
Sounds complicated but really doesn't take any more time and works nicely.
Pete: if you try this be careful with the push pin they are sharp.
