You can buy them pre-peeled from the grocery store, but they have all those slimy preservatives on it, and they're just not the same.

Here’s a fool proof way of hard boiling eggs, bring them to a boil with salt and also put a tablespoon of white vinegar in the water, it helps soften up the shells. Once they come to a boil take it off the heat and cover the pot, let them sit for about 10-12 minutes in the hot water. Then put them into an ice bath for about 5 minutes. The shells should come off nice and easy. It’s also better to use older eggs, ones that are close to the expiration date.
