How do you cook hard boiled eggs without the yolks turning green?!
When the timer goes off, quickly take off the heat, put on the lid and reset the timer to 8 minutes.
When 8 minutes are up, take to sink and run cold water over them for about a minute, let them soak a bit to cool off. They will peel best if you set them in the refrigerator for about 1/2 to 1 hour.
Answers: Place eggs in the saucepan and cover them with cold water, not too deep. Never put salt in the water. Place on burner on HIGH heat. Once they start to boil turn on the timer to 3 minutes.

thats never happened to me
lower the temperature of the stove I would assume.
use fresh eggs
if they turn green they are over cooked lower cooking time by 30 sec till they stop turning green
My eggs never turn green, but you could boil them for longer on a simmer.
Avoid over cooking them and plunge the eggs into cold water as soon as they're ready to stop them cooking any further. The green comes from a reaction between the iron in the egg yolk and sulfur in the white when the egg is heated.
that has never happened to me before. Put the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, then take em out
why you dont like green eggs and ham ????
1. Place eggs in a saucepan with enough COLD tap water to cover completely by 1 inch. Bring to a ROLLING boil over HIGH heat. Once the water is brought to a rolling boil, PROMPTLY reduce heat to a lower medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg. For a “soft boiled” egg reduce the time by a few minutes.
2. Remove from heat and IMMEDIATELY place eggs under ice cold water or in a bowl of ICED water to chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled. This is an extremely important step which prevents the greenish “ring” from forming on the surface of the yolk over time. If the egg is not chilled immediately after cooking an unsightly dark greenish ring will eventually appear on the outside of the yolk.
3. To peel...crack on all sides, roll egg between hands to loosen shell,and remove shell. Enjoy, with a light sprinkling of salt if desired.
To serve in egg cup, place egg in cup small end down, slice off large end of egg with knife or egg scissors and eat from shell with spoon.
Refrigeration is necessary for hard boiled eggs if they eggs are not to be consumed within a few hours.
Refrigerated boiled eggs, kept in the shell, can be kept for up to 1 week.
Um.... don't use spoiled eggs? :(
hmm..... my yolks have never turned green, i just put them in hot water. i really dont think they are supposed to do that.
well the inside of the yolk is yellow, so i would just peel off the outter part the best i could
The key to that is starting the eggs in water then bringing it to a boil, after they are done plunge them into ice water for at least 5 minutes. This prevents the yolks from turning :)
Saw this on a food show. It seems companies that boil eggs for commercial operations like restraunts and caterers do not boil the eggs for that reason. Apparently the temp. is too high and the overcook giving the green, which does happen to me sometimes.
No, they steam them. I tried it once after watching the show using a steamer basket in a large pot. I did not get any green even though I steamed them for almost 15 min. But the green does not bother me so I still boil my eggs .
In a large pot, place an even layer of eggs to be boiled. Fill the pot with enough cold tap water to cover eggs completely by 1 inch. Next, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a low-medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes for a "hard boiled" egg. For a "soft boiled" egg reduce the time by 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place eggs under ice cold water or in a bowl of iced water and chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Let stand for a few minutes in the cold water until the eggs are completely cooled. This is an important step which prevents the greenish "ring" from forming on the surface of the yolk over time.
You are boiling them too long and that is why the yolk is going green. It wont harm you though.
Sorry if I am rude - either you have color blindness or the chickes of your area are defective. No way the yolk can turn green !!
For boiling eggs (do not use eggs within two days of chicken laid it) - add plane salt in enough water that be able to submerge the eggs fully, boil slowly for 5 to 7 minutes and allow it to cool.

u're boilinh 'em too long. 8-10min is enough
put eggs in a pot with water, bring to a boil. once the water starts to boil turn buner off let eggs sit 10 mins. then run under cold water and peel. perfect yellow eggs...
depending on how hard u want the yolks.... from my own experience, i boil them from cold water for 13 minutes, they're usually _just_ set, if u prefer firmer yolks, i'd go for 14 mins.
