Answer 1

My tip is about the peeling technique: gently smash the boiled egg over and over so the shell breaks in a million pieces.

Don’t worry, they still will be attached to the egg, or more specifically, to the membrane underneath. Now pinch it with your fingers and focus on removing said membrane. It will easily come off, with all the shell pieces attached.
