An
all-too-common problem with hard-cooked egg recipes is that they
produce a greenish colored yolk and a sulfurous odor. How do we make perfect hard cooked eggs every time?
Don’t boil the eggs. The best results are when you cover the eggs with an inch of water, bring it to a boil, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat.
After 10 minutes, drain the eggs and cool them in ice water.
The gentle heat perfectly cooks the eggs—not a chance of the green tinge or unpleasant smell.
