The Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Learn the art of cooking eggs to perfection without that gray-green tinge in the center.

Step 1: Place eggs in a saucepan in an even layer and cover in cold water, enough to reach the top of the shells.

Step 2: Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Remove from heat immediately and let stand for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Drain off the hot water and cover in cold water along with a few ice cubes. Let stand until completely cooled.

Keep these helpful hints in mind when making your hard-boiled eggs:

Tip: Farm fresh eggs are much harder to peel, so opt for older eggs if you plan to hard boil.

Tip: Add a small amount of baking soda to the boiling water to help make peeling easier.

Tip: Try rolling hard-boiled eggs lightly against a counter for easier cracking and peeling.
