Admittedly, I have seen many methods for hard boiled eggs—some of which I wouldn't touch with a 3 metre slotted spoon—and people have sworn by almost any of them.

Putting the eggs in cold water and bringing to a boil cause the membrane to contract and stick to the egg. This makes it harder to peel the eggs. Putting them into already boiling water or into a steamer basket causes the membrane to stick to the shell. This makes peeling easier.
