Once the hard boiled eggs finish cooking, transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to fully cool. This also makes the eggs easier to peel.

Tap one egg gently on a hard surface to loosen the shell. If needed, you can also gently roll the egg between your palm and the countertop.

Hold the egg in one hand and gently peel away the shell from the cracked area all around the egg.

Continue peeling until all the shell is removed. If any small shell fragments are difficult to remove, rinse the egg under running water to remove.

Repeat with the remaining eggs.
