Subject: RE: BS: the best way to shell a boiled egg is...
An old trick that works is to chock the eggs in a bowl of icewater as soon as they're cooked--this seems to separate the egg from the shell mmbrane. After that, I crack the two ends, and roll the agg firmly between my hands under running water. Shell usually comes off in one piece.
