Sumberge immediately in cold, cold water and keep them in there for a bit...that does the trick for me!

Oh Bugger! You just reminded me that I need to make Egg Mayonnaise sandwiches tomorrow night for Noah's birthday party!!! For 20 babies!!!

I find that if you sort of swish them around in the pan to break the shells up with some water, they come off easily

Here is some help

for a birthday party?

I will give the suggestions a try. It's frustrating when the shell just pulls the white off.

I roll them on the counter a few times before I peel them and that works for me.

I agree, I usually dump the hot water out, add cold water and ice cubes for a while, the shells come right off when they are cold

So I just hard boiled 10 eggs, soaked them in COLD water for a half hour, swirled them around in the pan then peeled them. 2 of them fell apart completely, 4 of their shells peeled off like my underwear on a good night, and the other 4...well they were sort of in the middle
