Have you noticed that fresher eggs are harder to peel?

Dunno if it’s true, but I thought so.

Yes, for hard boiled eggs, I will let the eggs sit in the refrigerator for at least a couple weeks. When they are fresh, they do not peel very well.

Note that I got that idea from a restaurant I worked in many years ago. The fresh eggs would be cracked and used for the grill (i.e. omelettes) but the older eggs would be boiled and sliced/chopped up for salads. Because they peeled easier.
