For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old. Do not overcook! Accurate timing is key to preventing green yolks. The ice bath is crucial for stopping the cooking process and making the eggs easier to peel. For high altitude cooking, you may need to add a minute or two to the resting time.
