I get farm eggs from someone at work, so if I want hard boiled eggs I buy a dozen from the grocery. I gave up trying to peel farm eggs a long time ago.

What I do is put the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water (the lady I get fresh eggs from says add 3/4 cup of salt to the water and they will peel easy, I haven't tried that yet). Bring the pot to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, or put in ice water, then into the fridge.

I don't believe in the double boil thing, but I do know that the faster you can cool them the better chance you'll have of peeling them.
