What's the best way to peel a hard boiled egg?

Boil per normal. At this point you can roll the egg and peel it; no ice bath required. The ice bath does make it a bit easier though.

A hack for rolling the egg is to simply dump the water out of the pot, put eggs back in, put lid on pot and swirl/shake eggs for 30 seconds.

A hack for removing the shell is to peel off the part around the fat end, then hold the egg like an ice cream cone and gently squeeze; egg should squeeze out of the shell.


Hope that helps.
