Diane Tierney :-) Try GENTLY rolling/crushing the egg on a flat surface. The shell should crack into many tiny pieces, but the "skin" underneath will hold them together. Then look for a good crack and GENTLY pull off the shell. I've used this method all my life and never broken a hard-boiled egg this way. --Lynn ...tymix!figmo
