peeling fresh hard boiled eggs

I know that in order to peel hard boiled eggs from your own hens, the eggs need to be 2-3 weeks old & even then it can still be tricky to get the shell off.
But I've just learnt that  if you place your eggs in a steamer & steam for 20-22 mins, the shell are a doddle to remove! So I'm going to try this today & post my results (& pics if I can work it out)

Try running under warm water while you peel, you need to break the membrane between the shell and the egg as this is what causes it to 'stick'

That was the first thing we noticed, but I worked out if you keep the egg wet it is easier to peel. So when boiled I put the pan in the sink run cold water over the eggs and pan till cooled then peel under water, most times they come off clean

I wouldn't dream of waiting 3 weeks to eat our eggs, might as well go to Tesco

On the odd occasion I have damaged a shell so boiled the egg that had just been laid.    However, indigestion followed  so I give them a day or so before eating
