Does anyone know how to cook hard boiled eggs that are EASY to peel?

I've followed MANY directions and always have problems removing the shell easily. Surely there's a way to make them easy to peel.

after boiling them hard put them in cold water for 15 minutes, take them out, tap them gently on a hard surface until the shell is cracked all over, they are then ready to be pealed

@antonioioio Thank you. I will try that.

Or even use the back of a tablespoon to gently tap it all over to crack the shell.
