How to Prevent the Green Ring in Hard-Boiled Eggs
If you want perfectly bright yellow yolks, follow these simple tips:
1. Don’t Overcook the Eggs
Use a gentle, time-controlled cooking method:
Place eggs in a pot of cold water.
Bring to a gentle boil.
Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
2. Cool the Eggs Quickly
Immediately after cooking:
Drain hot water
Transfer eggs into an ice bath
Cool for at least 5 minutes
This stops the chemical reaction instantly.
3. Use the Right Cooking Temperature
Avoid rapid, high-temperature boiling. A gentle simmer produces more even results.

Steaming reduces overcooking and often leads to easier peeling and brighter yolks.
