These were for my 4th of July deviled eggs (series pending me
uploading the rest of it to tinypic) and they were fresh 3 days prior
to cooking
them. I just put the carton in my bedroom and left it propped open.
If I'd left it in the kitchen, dad would have stuck it back in the
'frige. <g> He often forgets what I tell him...

If you're talking store-bought eggs it probably works like a charm
(because they've probably been in the store on the shelf for a couple
of days already) - but with the fresh eggs I get from my chickens I
have to let them 'age' for longer than that - say 4 or 5 days (at room
temp.) before they peel easily.

Indeed. :-)

Same same for when I had hens. Guess I should have specified store
bought eggs! The ones we get here are pretty fresh and will never peel
clean for me straight from the store.
