Step 6: While the eggs are boiling, prepare a bowl of ice water. This will be used to stop the cooking process and cool the eggs quickly, which helps with peeling later on.

Step 7: Use a skimmer to remove eggs from boiling water After the eggs have finished boiling for the desired time, and transfer them to the ice water bath. This will stop the cooking process and cool the eggs quickly.
