I just boil em in salted water to keep em from breaking, then run cold in the pot once there cooked then peel. The shells always come off like butter. It does'nt have to be that complicated.
They travel well, I roll them in 2 papertowels and put them in a small ziplock bag with an extra paper towel. Crack them all open into the 1st two towels and eat off the other and roll all the shells into the ziplock.
