For best results, use eggs that are a week old or older. Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the boiling water can further aid in easy peeling. Do not overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure the eggs are in a single layer. If the eggs are very fresh, they may still be a bit difficult to peel. Try peeling them under running water.
