Recipe View Peel with Ease: Peel the eggs under cool running water. The shells should slip off effortlessly, revealing smooth, perfectly cooked eggs.

For the best results, use eggs that are at least a few days old. This allows the air pocket inside the egg to develop, further aiding in peeling.
Do not skip the ice bath! This rapid cooling stops the cooking process and prevents the formation of a green ring around the yolk.
If you're short on time, you can peel the eggs immediately after cracking, but letting them sit in the ice water ensures the easiest peel.
