After, put the eggs in cold water so they stop cooking.
You mean a separate container (large enough to hold plenty cold water I presume)? How long? How cold? Icy, so it hurts your hand, or just not warm, not even lukewarm?
I struggle to get consistent results with this method, but I don’t always put the eggs in when the water already boils.
I just run the same pot under running cold water and then I leave the eggs in that cold water for a couple of minutes. I guess if you want you can prepare an ice bath, that would be better but I can’t be bothered. I need to have breakfast ready in a few minutes so I don’t care about perfection. Sure, some might break when you lower them into boiling water, and some might not peel as easy. But in general this method gives me easy peeling eggs for the most part.

Thanks.
This is clearly the crucial part. I take them out much too soon.
