Here is a goal: How do I boil my eggs and prep for egg salad?

Which way makes more sense to accomplish this goal?
First, put eggs and water in a pot and bring water to a boil. After it comes to a boil, let it boil for 2-3 min. Remove the pot from heat and let the eggs sit in pot for 12-13 min. Now, pour out hot water and rinse with cold water and add ice. This will stop the cooking process. Let the eggs sit in icy water for 10 minutes. Now you are ready to crack and enjoy!
