For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old. If you prefer a slightly firmer yolk, increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The ice bath is crucial for preventing overcooking and ensuring easy peeling.

Gently Introduce the Eggs: Once the water bath is at 170°F (77°C), carefully lower the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon to prevent cracking. (Approximately 2 minutes)
