Hey Tony, the trick is to peel them before boiling, my wife bought me a dozen "Eggletts" egg cookers, wonderful invention, just a quick spray of cooking oil, crack the eggs and pour them in an egglett cup, screw the lid on and put them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then take them out of the water, let cool a few minutes, unscrew the lids and pop the finished hard boiled eggs out easily.
Last week I made two dozen pickled eggs in about an hour start to finish including cooking time, no peeling and no mess.
