put eggs in cold water. Heat til boiling for one minute. Turn off eggs and set timer for 20 min.

At 20 min, pour off hot water and submurge in cold water until eggs are cool. Crack the eggs on the counter then roll them until crackled. The shells will slip off and no unattractive green in the yolk.

There is a theme in the several responses and that theme is to peel the egg shells immediately after cooking. I usually refrigerate the unpeeled hard boiled eggs with the intent of eating them later.

So, my next question. Is there a down side to storing peeled hard boiled eggs? I know I can refrigerate them for 10-14 days with the shells intact.
