An easy way to peel hard boiled eggs is to put the pan with the eggs in it into the sink, tip the hot water out, pour in water as cold as you can, wait a couple of minutes (or three), and the shell comes off in large pieces. The cold water breaks the membrane between the egg and the shell.
Thank you both for your tips. I tried them and they work great! I lightly pre-cracked the fat end of the eggs. That eliminated the need to heat gradually. No leaking cracks formed when I went straight to hot water which saves time and hassle. I put the cooked eggs in an ice bath for a few minutes and they peeled great. I’m happy. It’s amazing how little tweaks make such a difference.
