An easy way to remove the eggshell is to peel the egg in cold water, or better still under a cold running tap, there is a very thin membrane under the shell which acts a little bit like cling film, helping the shell 'cling' the egg, the water gets under the membrane and the shell is removed easily.

Just be sure it is thoroughly cooked and cool , tap it gently to crack it and pull off

the shell with your fingers. The egg absolutely must be cool . If the egg is still

warm, the white will stick to the shell and the egg will fall apart when you remove the peeling.

Be sure it is cool. If you are in a hurry, put in iced water until the shells feel cool.

It is impossible to peel a warm egg -- the white will stick to the shell and the egg

will come apart.

After the egg is cool , it is easy to peel it neatly. Tap gently on the end to break

the shell and get it started, then pull the shell off with your fingers, gently tapping to

break the shell as you go.

I find peeling them under running water the easiest way. Crack the egg on the large(air sac) end and peel it down to the thin membrane. grab(pinch) the membrane and use it to peel away the shell from the egg. running water helps keep the membrane from sticking to the egg white and tearing it away.

The way that works well for me is to gently crack them on the side (not top or bottom) and then roll the egg to make sure it is cracked al the way around. Then, pick a spot on the egg where the shell membrane has torn, this is where you start to peel away the shell. When you're done, rinse off in cool water to make sure all the shell has been removed.

Try cracking the shell while the egg is still warm (ex. tap all sides if the egg against a counter), then soak in cool water. The shell should separate from the egg easily.

Peel it while it's warm. If it isn't then microwave a cup of water and put the egg in it til it gets warm. much easier to peel.
