I follow the [rolling technique](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLjCDNoRC-g) to crack all my eggs. Most of the time the shell splits into 2 easily separable pieces. Every so often the technique fails and rolling the egg results in very small cracks making it very difficult to peel. Is it the way I’m boiling/storing/cracking the eggs? Please ELI5.

Can’t explain the reason why, yet here’s a very workable solution…
After the eggs are done boiling, take them out of the pot and crack each one just a bit on both ends. Then set them in a pot of cold water to cool off.
To peel, do this in a bowl of water also. Just crack all around the shells as usual and roll them them back and forth in your hands. Start the peeling, and keep dunking them in the water, that’s the key.
The shells will then peel off so easily… even like paring an orange all in one piece!
The unused ones, just refrigerate as usual, and then use the water bowl thing again when ready to peel them.
