## **Tips for Perfect Boiled Eggs**
– **Use a Timer**: The key to perfect boiled eggs is timing, so using a timer or keeping track of the minutes ensures that you get exactly the right texture for your eggs.
– **Fresh Eggs**: As mentioned, older eggs are easier to peel for hard-boiled eggs. If you don’t have older eggs on hand, you can still make soft-boiled eggs or carefully monitor the timing for peeling fresh eggs.
– **Avoid Overcooking**: Overcooked eggs can have a greenish-gray ring around the yolk, which is caused by a reaction between the iron in the yolk and the sulfur in the egg white. It’s a sign that the egg has been cooked for too long. Avoid this by not exceeding the recommended cook times.
– **Experiment with Timing**: Everyone has their preference when it comes to the ideal boiled egg, so feel free to experiment with cooking times until you get the texture you love.
– **Peel After Cooling**: Peeling eggs when they are too warm can cause the whites to stick to the shell, making them harder to peel. Always cool them in ice water or let them cool at room temperature before peeling.
