I’m going to disagree with both the time and the any-time-post-chill advice. There are a bunch of ways to boil eggs, but mine is to slow between 16-17 minutes at 208F (I use 208 because I’m at 2500’ASL, 212 will be a little faster at sea level). My MIL swears by bringing the eggs to a boil in cold water then lidding and turning off the heat and removing after 17 minutes. For me, under 16 guarantees uncooked yolk at the center, over 18 and I get green yolks.
Peeling the next day is always a chore compared to peeling after running under cold water for a couple minutes (I dump in some ice).
