Are you upset because the egg white sometimes sticks to the shell when peeling boiled eggs? If so, as soon as the eggs are boiled, soak them in cold water for a few minutes.

This will both cool the eggs down at once and make them easy to peel.

Wash your hands with cold water. Then, rub and wash them with vinegar. If you don't want to use vinegar, you can also rub and wash with a lemon instead.
