In a medium pot, add eggs and enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch.
Cover pot with a lid and bring water to a boil on high heat.
Turn off heat and leave the pot covered with a lid on the burner for 12 minutes.*
After transfer cooked eggs into an ice bath for 10 minutes.
To peel the eggs, tap a few times on hard surface and remove the shell.

Store: Refrigerate peeled eggs in a container with a lid for up to 3 days. Unpeeled eggs can be refrigerated uncovered for up to a week.
Freeze: Cooked eggs do not freeze well. The egg whites become rubbery. You can always use up the cooked eggs whites first and freeze the egg yolks.
*Cooking time may vary due to the cookware, size and temperature of the eggs, stovetop and altitude. Adjust after the first try.
