Add Baking Soda to water when hard boiling eggs & shell will come off easily.

Ahhh - did you try it!
I did - and believe me if the eggs are only a few days old it doesn't matter WHAT you do - they are very hard to come off.
So for fresh eggs it is poaching or frying or omelettes or coddling.
But not boiling in the shell!

I tried it too with limited success LOL. (I actually found by accident that it is easier for me to remove the shell by rolling the egg till the shell is cracked all over then it seems to peel easier.)

Correct. Bang egg on bench to start the crack then cupping your hand over the egg roll along with enough pressure to continue cracking shell for easy removal.

. . . then put them back in the saucepan of cold water (you did run cold water over them !) and take them out 1 by 1 to peel.

Take them from boiling water to cold water. It helps.

All works great if eggs are older than 10 days. And that is what you get in supermarkets. If you have your own - you KNOW that nothing works if they are less than a week old LOL :)

re baking soda ~ try this for a very effective exofoliant:
1 or 2 tspns of baking soda mixed to a paste, rub gentley on face (not eye area), throat, decolatage . it feels like very fine grit and your skin feels like velvet afterwards.My 18 yr old daughter put me onto this . love a frugal way of doing things!
