How do you peel hardboiled eggs properly without big chunks coming off?

The eggs I buy are organic and expensive, by the time I'm done peeling, they are half their size. :(

I bang the shells up and let the egg cool, nothing works. Any tips?

After you have boiled them plunge them into ice water then crack the shells and peel off the shell with the inner membrane

it works very well especially if you have a lot of them to do. When I was working as a chef I had to do batches of 60 scotch eggs you need the hard boiled egg to be completely smooth to cover with sausage meat and doing batches of 60 doesn't leave a lot of time for messing around with fiddly bits of eggshell.
