Why does a green ring appear around hard-boiled eggs?

How to Prevent It:

1. Don’t Overcook: After bringing your water to a boil, reduce it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 9-12 minutes for large eggs.

2. Cool Immediately: As soon as the eggs are done, plunge them into an ice water bath. This stops the cooking process and prevents the reaction.

While it might not look as appetizing, the green ring has no effect on the egg’s taste or safety. It’s just a sign to adjust your cooking time next time!
