"I used the "roll and peel" shown here to remove the shell from my eggs that I hard boiled. It didn't really make sense to me when I read it because I thought he finer cracked shells would be more of a mess to peel. But I was pleasantly surprised. It worked pretty good, a lot better than how I was doing it. Even though the shell was cracked in fine pieces it came off in larger sections. It made peeling the eggs a lot easier."

This article explains how to check for doneness and what to do if it isn't done. I just might try it this year. You would think it would give the dress great flavor."
