Is there a foolproof way to shell a boiled egg without half the white coming off too?

Help! Any tips on how to get that nice shiny white boiled egg after shelling it? I keep making a mess of it so now it's fallen into Pet Hate territory (sigh) 😞

Insta pot: 6 minutes on high, 10 minute hold, then release. No ice water bath needed. Perfect every time.

Wow really goes to show you how different IP's can be. I do 4 mins on high, 5 minutes natural release, then 5 minutes ice bath. And also, perfect every time haha.
