A few months ago in one of these egg threads, I learned that when making hard boiled, if you drop eggs into boiling water they will peel effortlessly. That revolutionized my egg experience. :)

Thanks to who ever posted that.

Many recipes recommend putting cold eggs in cold water, bringing to a boil, and then turning off the heat.

I also found out that you should run them under cold water or put them in an ice bath after cooking. This prevents the gray layer on the yolk.

Boiling water for 8 minutes, remove from heat source let cool for a while. When peeling, crack the fat side first under cool water and they peel like a charm.

Five minutes in the instant pot with a five minute ice bath works beautifully.

I stick mine in the Instant Pot and hit the Egg button. When the pressure drops and I can open the unit up, I run them under cold water. I can almost get the shells off in two pieces.
