Cooking Tip: How to have perfect hard boiled eggs every time!

Do you hate those green rings around your overcooked egg yolks? Have no fear!

Place eggs into a pot of cold water, making sure to cover them entirely with water. Turn the stove on and cook the eggs until they start to boil, then turn off, remove the pot from the heat, and cover for 10 minutes. Don't forget to set your timer!

After 10 minutes, drain the eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water (ice and water) to chill. If going to use immediately, gently crack each egg after 2-3 minutes, allowing water to loosen the shell, and place back in the ice water for about 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes is up, peel away my friends. The result is perfect yellow egg yolks with no "ring around the collar" (ha!).

This process has worked for us for many years. What is your favorite way to hard-boil eggs? Comment below. Thank you for visiting! Come back again.
