3- Boil and Cool Quickly:

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, making sure there’s enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Turn Off the Heat and Cover: Once the water reaches a full boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on the desired level of doneness.

Transfer to an Ice Bath: After the eggs are done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them into a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes. The cold water stops the cooking process and also helps the membrane release from the egg white.
