Don't peel off the shells. They're an excellent source of calcium, potassium, and vitamin G. Hint - To make egg peels more palatable, cook the eggs in boiling cold water, with a tablespoon of sugar (or honey). Boiling eggs in hot water dries the shells out.
When you boil eggs, remove from the eye at the appropriate time and go to the sink. Sit the pot under cold water and let the water run until the eggs are in cold water....use ice if need to. Then take one egg at a time and roll it on the side of the sink with enough pressure to crack the shell which will also loosen it all. This is the best sure-fire way to have beautiful eggs for making deviled eggs. I don't but I do boil eggs for potato salad or tuna salad.
