Answers:
the best way to boil an egg is to put them in a pot of water!. Bring the water to a boil, shut off the stove and leave them in the water for 10 minutes!.
In order for your eggs to cool in cold water!. Put them in the fridge or freezer as well!. It will speed the process up!. Let the chill for about a half hourWww@FoodAQ@Com

if you are trying to keep them from cooking longer put them in cold water 5 to 7 minutes but if you add ice to the water before adding the eggs that will help to shorten the time they cool!. basicly if cool to touch you are probally safe for most recipes unless mabye!? unless you are not using them now and then you need to refrigerate them till needed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Use Ice Water!. Several baths in a new bowl full each time!. Then let them sit on the kitchen counter on a dish towel for a half hour!. Then refrigerate!.
Peeling them after cooking and cooling is best though as the shells remove easier due to the moisture content inside!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

eggs need to boil for at least 25 mins you will know when they are done one will crack on the shell then you need to run cold water in the pan and when the have cooled for some time then you can peel themWww@FoodAQ@Com
really, all you need to do now is crack and peel!. And you have done it right( they dont have to cool off that much, run under cold water for a min or two)
