We have a vegetable steamer expandable bowl thingy that was designed to go into the bottom of a regular pan to steam vegetables. That works very well!!

I then brought the water to a full boil and then gently added the eggs in with a set of tongs. I boiled the eggs for a full ten minutes and then turned the heat off and allowed them to sit for another ten minutes. I then poured off the hot water and immediately ran cold tap water until all of the heat had been drawn off the eggs. Just to make sure I am putting the eggs in the frig to sit overnight. Not wanting to wait however, I took one of the eggs and it peeled perfectly. The final proof will be when I peel all of the eggs tomorrow but I think that I have found the solution. I have no idea if the baking soda helped or not. Thanks for your prompt assistance.

I've aged the eggs, used eggs from different sources including local farm eggs, boiled them for different lengths of time, and added ice water. No matter what I do they are a nightmare to peel. Any ideas?
