Your method is what I was doing before I started steaming them recently, though I generally let them stand in the hot water for a couple minutes longer. If doing this, older eggs are much easier to peel. You might also try peeling after just 5 minutes in an ice bath.
Steaming them makes even the ones done with new eggs easy to peel, and they cook without an air pocket in my recent experience.
