I've been cracking both ends and blowing into either end. It separates the egg from the shell....sometimes. Do you peel them hot, warm or cold? Help me out here, people.

I peel them hot. I run water in the sink so I can stop my fingers from burning.

I thought this was just a vicious rumor that was being spread about you. I never thought it was actually true.

Supposedly if you submerge them in ice cold water right after they are done it both shrinks the egg making it easier to peel, and somehow makes the sulfur smell go away... heard it on good eats or some show like that.

If you have the time, and the forthought, take a bowl, fill it with cold water, and then add some ice about 20 minutes before your eggs are done boiling. Submerge the eggs into the ice water as soon as they come out of the pan.
