I cook them as you do for ten minutes. I then remove them from the heat
and run cold water in the pan in the sink for a few minutes. I then
crack the shell all around by hitting the egg against the sink. I then
peel the egg while running cold water over it. I have never had the
problem with the shell sticking to the egg.
