Ingredients
6 large eggs (preferably 1 week old)
Water (enough to cover eggs by 1 inch)
2 cups ice cubes
Cold water for ice bath
Instructions
Step 1: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least an inch.
Step 2: Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil.
Step 3: Immediately remove the pan from the heat and cover it with a lid.
Step 4: Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes (for large eggs).
Step 5: While eggs are sitting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 6: Transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon and let them cool for at least 10 minutes.
Step 7: Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs, starting from the air pocket at the wide end.
Notes
For jammy yolks, reduce the sitting time to 8 minutes. For extra-large eggs, add 1 minute to the sitting time.
