Using older eggs tends to result in easier peeling later (check the expiration date on your egg carton), but the cooking method you use can also help. Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs have a reputation for being easier to peel, and adding eggs to a saucepan of boiling water (rather than letting them come to a boil in the pot) may help, too. Be sure to peel your eggs immediately after removing them from the ice bath, as the slightly warm eggs are easier to peel than cold eggs.
