How To Make Perfectly Boiled Eggs

Ever wonder how to boil your eggs perfectly so the yolk in the center is yellow instead of that greenish hue? Well, I've searched and searched for the answer and found this technique from Melissa d'Arabian on the Food Network. I tried it, and it works!

Here is what you do:
  • Place eggs in one layer along bottom of a large pot.
  • Fill pot with cold water, making sure to cover eggs completely by at least 1 inch.
  • Bring water to a simmer over low heat and cook for 1 minute.
  • Cover pot with a lid, turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit for 15 minutes.
  • Rinse with cold water.
  • Roll the eggs between your palm and the counter top to crack the shell.
  • Peel under cold, running water.
