For easy-to-peel hard boiled eggs, boil some water in a steamer, then put the eggs in the steamer basket and put on the lid. Where you woulde boil the eggs for 8 minutes, you want to steam them for 12.

Lift the eggs out of the steamer wsith a pair of tongs or a big spoon and drop them into a bowl of ice water.

After 30 seconds or so you should be able to crack and peel the eggs cleanly in mere seconds.
