Analyzing cooking steps...

Cooling the eggs in ice water immediately is crucial to avoid the sulfurous green ring around the yolk.
Peeling eggs under running water makes the process easier as water gets under the membrane.
Using an egg slicer twice (turning the egg) is a quick and uniform way to chop eggs for salad.
