3 Meanwhile, fill medium bowl with 1 quart water and 1 tray ice cubes (or equivalent).
4 Transfer eggs to ice bath with slotted spoon and let sit 5 minutes.
5 Tap each egg all over against countertop to crack shell, then roll egg gently back and forth several times.
6 Begin peeling from air-pocket (wider) end.
7 The shell should come off in spiral strips attached to thin membrane.
8 Hard-boiled eggs can be refrigerated for several days.
9 You can double or triple this recipe as long as you use a pot large enough to hold the eggs in a single layer, covered by an inch of water.
