Egg whites are protien and they like to stick stuff together. When you boil your eggs, add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the water- it will soften the shell and make them easier to peel.

Your eggs are probably too fresh. The older the egg the easier the shell will come off. Eggs that are about 2 weeks old are really easy to peel.

I find that it's better to keep the eggs in warm rather than cold water after they are boiled. The shells seem to come off easier that way. Give it a try.

Hit the egg on both ends and then roll it firmly on the table. Then put in warm water while you peel it. The egg should peel easy.

Dip the egg in cool water and the shell will slide off easy. Your peeling it while its too hot!

I believe you didn't allow the egg to cool completely.

Get them cold first. Not cool, cold. Try some salt in the water, also.
I didn't answer your question, but I hope that helps.
