As soon as the water boils, immediately turn off the heat, remove the pan from the burner, and cover it with a tight-fitting lid.

Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes for firm, fully-cooked yolks.

Cool in Ice Bath

While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with cold water and 2 cups of ice cubes.
Once the 12 minutes are up, use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the cooked eggs from the hot water directly into the ice bath.
Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it stops the cooking process and makes them much easier to peel.

Peel and Serve

To peel, gently tap an egg on a hard surface to crack the shell all over.
Roll the egg between your palms to loosen the shell.
Peel the shell off, starting from the wider end where the air pocket is. Peeling under a gentle stream of cool water can help wash away any small shell fragments.
