What is the best method to remove hard-boiled eggshells?

Answer 1

After boiling put pot in sink and sprinkle ice or cold water over the eggs. Wait a few minutes and shell them. The shell should come right off unless they are old eggs. If the shells don't come off easy at all...in most cases it is a sign that the eggs are old.

Answer 2

There is a very thin membrane under the shell which acts a little bit like cling film, helping the shell 'cling' the egg, an easy way to resolve this is to peel the egg in cold water, or better still under a cold running tap, the water gets under the membrane and the shell is removed easily

Answer 3

The best way I have found to remove the shells from hard-cooked eggs is to place them in a jar with some water to cover. Shake just hard enough to crack the shell in several places. Remove the egg from the water and peel off the shell. It seems this method forces water under the shell membrane and makes shell removal easier.

You can do something similar by cracking the shell, then holding the egt under running water while rolling it between your hands with some pressure.
