The perfect hard boiled eggs should have no green sulfur rings around the yolks. This is how you get them to cook to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 dozen large eggs
  • 6-quart pot with tight fitting lid
  • cold water

Instructions

1.      Carefully place uncooked eggs in the bottom of the pot.

2.      Cover with an inch of cold water.

3.      Place over medium-high heat and partially cover the pot with the lid.

4.      Listen for the eggs to start moving. This could take up to 10 minutes depending on how cold the water that you start with is. As soon as you see medium sized bubbles rising from underneath the eggs, turn off the heat and cover the pot tightly this time.

5.      Set a timer for 11 minutes.

6.      When time is up, carefully pour off the hot water and rinse the eggs well under cold water to stop the cooking.

7.      Allow to cool completely before dying.
