4. Add eggs: Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to a gentle boil.
5. Cook: Cook for 9-12 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
6. Shock in ice bath: Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to the ice bath. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
7. Peel: Tap the eggs gently to crack the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Start peeling from the larger end.
