If you do not want the ugly grey boundary on the yolk, just put the eggs into boiling water with tongs, bring the water back up to a rolling boil, turn off the burner or move the pot off the fire, and put a lid on it. Let it steep for 5-6 minutes. Pour cold water into the pot and shake the pot vigorously to crack the shells a bit. As the eggs are cooling rapidly, they will pull some water under the shells and will be really easy to peel.

Have FUN!
