Kathy's comments

Peeling eggs can be difficult especially with all the farmer's market fresh eggs and free range eggs now available.  I have found that regular eggs from grocery store and a little bit older ones peel better.  Also when cracking eggs to peel I found that fewer cracks were easier to peel instead of alot of fine cracks.  The shell came off in bigger pieces as opposed to tiny pieces.  Hope this helps!
