Heat gradually.
Cook over medium heat. When the water begins to obviously boil, turn off the heat immediately.
Let time do its work.
Cover the pan and let the eggs soak in boiling water for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on size. For a slightly soft yolk, 9 minutes is enough. For a firm yolk, allow up to 12 minutes.
Express cooling
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of iced water (or, failing that, very cold water). Plunge your eggs into it as soon as the resting time is over. This immediately stops the cooking process , prevents the green ring… and makes peeling easier!
Peel without stress
Once cooled (5 minutes is sufficient), peel the eggs under running cold water to easily remove the shell.
Bonus Tips for a Perfect Result
- Use eggs that are somewhat less fresh; an egg that is too fresh is more difficult to peel. This preparation works best if it is 5 to 7 days old.
- Add a touch of salt or a dash of vinegar to the water to lessen the likelihood of breaking if a shell cracks while cooking.
- Keep them in their shells in the fridge for up to a week. Once peeled, consume within 2 to 3 days.
What’s the secret? Just the ideal timing.
There’s no need to complicate things: the trick to avoiding the green ring is simple: don’t overcook your eggs… and chill them immediately. An easy habit to develop for hard-boiled eggs that are both beautiful and delicious.
