If the Eggs Have a Green Ring Around Their Yolk, It Means… BOILED EGG

by

Ingredients:

  • Eggs (as many as you want to boil)
  • Water
  • Salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
  2. Add a pinch of salt if desired (helps prevent cracking).
  3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer:
    • Soft-boiled eggs: 4–6 minutes
    • Medium-boiled eggs: 7–9 minutes
    • Hard-boiled eggs: 10–12 minutes
  5. Remove the eggs from hot water and immediately place them in ice-cold water for 5–10 minutes to stop cooking.
  6. Peel and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Green ring around yolk: This happens when eggs are overcooked. It’s safe to eat, but the yolk may taste slightly sulfurous.
  • To avoid the green ring, avoid boiling eggs for too long and cool them quickly in cold water.
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel, so older eggs work better for boiling.
  • Add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water to make peeling easier.
