Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness 9 minutes for softer yolks, 12 minutes for firmer yolks. While the eggs are sitting, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. After the desired cooking time has passed, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water with a slotted spoon and transfer them immediately to the ice water bath to cool rapidly. Allow the eggs to sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes to ensure they cool completely. Once cooled, tap each egg gently on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell all over. Peel the eggs under running cold water to help remove any remaining bits of shell easily. Enjoy your perfect hard-boiled eggs with shells that peel effortlessly!
