I always peel the eggs while they are very warm, and I think they would be very hard to peel after being chilled. I have put the peeled eggs in a bowl with a bowl cover over them and they are fine that way.

I always chill the eggs and then peel. Crack thoroughly, then either roll the egg on the counter or between your hands. That works really well to loosen the shell.

Honey...either way will work!

Don't overcook, 12 minutes of steam or boiling water (once boiling starts) is plenty. Directly into ice water at the end of cooking. Don't scrimp on the ice. In 15 minutes, roll on the counter to crack the shell and then start peeling at the wide end. The shell should fly off. .

Dry with paper towels, put in covered bowl in fridge. Good for 4 or 5 days.

Try it with a few, see how you like the results.

I wanted to make sure you have enough choices

I do it both ways, but cool the way Snidely does in ice water. I have best luck peeling if I crack first the wide end, then the narrow end, then roll to crack all over. I read somewhere that cracking the ends that way forces air around the inside of the shell to loosen it, then cracking the rest is easy and peels easier. I do still sometimes have problems peeling some of them. And a few days in the fridge won't hurt.

Of course you are aware that fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older ones. Use the fresh ones for cooking or baking, but eggs that are more than one week away from the store will peel much easier.

OK, thanks everyone. Tami, I'm going to try cracking the wide end first.

Jim, I bought the eggs today. Is that old enough? (just kidding)

56 years of making eggs/peeling has taught me it is a crap shoot. Often one in the bunch is a PAIN. I bring mine to boil then shut off heat for 30 minutes then dunk in cold water. That formula gives me perfectly cooked yellow with no "green" ring. I have cooked mine up and waited as long as a week to peel.

I agree with jim; fresh eggs are a pain to peel. "older" eggs are much easier! I used to peel literally hundreds for a senior home I worked at.

I had a rude awakening when we moved to Santa Fe. 7000 feet above sea level. I had to relearn how to cook things like eggs. What a difference.

I do mine just as Arcy does - works every time for me.
