After boiling I drain the pot and let them cool for about ten minutes. I like to place the egg under water for a second (just in case they’re still hot and because the shell doesn’t seem to stick as much) and then peel them. How about you?

I usually don't have time to let it cool! I just dump the boiling water, fill the pot with cold water and peel them in the water - and my fingers just barely burn... :)

I'm with Kassandria, no yolks for me either. I do it the same as you Val.

I boil them, cool them quickly in cold running water, then I crack the shell all over by gently tapping on the edge of the sink. Once the shell is all broken, then I peel it. I find it helps get that membrane off!
