Why is the yolk of my hard-boiled egg turning green? – Page 2

Let it rest, without boiling it further.

Cover the pan and let the eggs enjoy the gentle heat:

9 minutes for a slightly creamy yolk.
12 minutes for a firm yolk.

Stop the cooking process immediately

Immediately plunge your eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. This simple step stops the cooking process and prevents the formation of the dreaded green ring.

Peel without any hassle

After 5 minutes in cold water, gently tap the shell and then peel the eggs under running water. The result: a shell that comes off easily and perfectly smooth eggs!
