Hard Boiled Eggs

What is the secret to hard boiling eggs so the shell peels away easy??
No matter what I do I can NOT nail this process.

I take mine straight from the pot into an ice bath to cool quickly. Usually does the trick

@Rumination So right after it comes to a boil you are moving them to the ice bath?

@skmokisses absolutely right

@skmokisses yep! Normal process, but as soon as they’re cooked, I drain the water and replace it with ice and cold water

@Rumination I will try this ..... I have been bringing them to a boil, removing from heat and covering to rest for 10 minutes. Then moving them to an ice bath for 15 or so minutes. However, this last weekend, they sat in the ice bath probably over 30 minutes and still were a pain to peel. 😞

@skmokisses The age of the chicken is a factor too, but it doesn’t usually affect regular store bought eggs 🤔
