Default Why do hard boiled eggs sometimes peel funny?

Hard boiled eggs requires OLD eggs. If you do them often have them set
aside in the frig so that they are at least 2-weeks old before bringing to a
boil, covering, shutting off the heat and timing 18-minutes. Place in a
bowl of ice water. The egg shells will all peel to perfection and will be
soft and not rubbery from over boiling.
