5. Once the timer goes off, use the slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the saucepan and immediately place them in the ice water to stop the cooking process.
6. After a minute or two, remove the eggs from the ice water and gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell.
7. Peel the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
