Shouldn't it usually just kinda break off? I haven't hard-boiled an egg since childhood so I may be misremembering.

hefty pinch of salt in the water at the start makes the eggs far easier to peel. no device required.

You've disgraced the Food & Debate forum, pal.

Or shall I say, ex-pal.

5 Steps to Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs – How to Hard Boil Eggs
1. Put the egg(s) in a pot with cold water that completely covers the egg, plus a little extra water to spare. About an inch or so.

Cooking in cold water (vs. already boiling water), will allow the egg to cook gradually without cracking the shell.
Eggs that have been refrigerated for a few days work best. Fresher eggs are harder to peel.
2. Add one teaspoon of salt to the water.

Don’t want to remove chunks of the egg white with the shell when you are peeling it? Adding salt (and less fresh eggs) helps with easier peeling of your hard boiled eggs. Don’t ask me why, but the salt does help.

3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Make sure it is a strong, rolling boil.
Let the egg boil for a minute or two.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.

Letting the egg rest in the hot water cooks the egg evenly without overcooking. Overcooked eggs result in a yucky greenish colored ring around the yolk. You can say goodbye to that!
For me, the perfect time is 15 minutes, but that can vary depending on the size of your egg (medium, large or extra-large)
5. Remove the egg from the hot water with a slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, peel the egg.

To speed the cooling process, you can add the egg to a bowl of cold water to cool.
Or, if you are making many eggs at once for use through the next several days you can place them in the refrigerator.
Peeling the eggs under cold water helps make the peeling easier.
Note: I have found that when I buy brown shelled organic eggs they peel easier than traditional white eggs.

I always add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vinegar to the water because that's what my Mommy taught me and the eggs always peel easily.

thodoks, while I doubt this will make ye trust me in anyways, I do hope you give it a try and let is know about the outcome. it actually does work.

pierce a hole in the fat end of the egg to stop it burstng in the pan too.

It does, but it just resulted in a number of ways to cover it in cheese curds and gravy.
