TO PEEL THE HARDBOILED EGGS:
When taking the eggs off the heat and draining them, knock them around a bit, by swirling the pan and banging the eggs together. Then the cold water will run underneath the broken shell and help to pry it loose. Also, it is helpful to peel the eggs before you refrigerate them. Peeling them under cool running water can be helpful.
