It can be tricky to know how long to cook your eggs for when hard-boiling them since you can't see the inside. You want the yolk and white to be solid but there should be no discoloring between the yolk and white (that green/black color). If there is discoloring you over-cooked the eggs (you can still eat them - but I know you want to master this so they look pretty!!) This method always works great for me.1. Use a small sauce pot (I like one that is ~ 3 cups)
2. Place large eggs in pot and cover with water (doesn't need to be hot water)
3. Put on small burner of stove, turn heat to high, set timer for 14-15 minutes
4. When timer goes off, pour out water boiling water and run cold water over eggs for about 20-30 seconds to shock them.
5. Crack eggs on counter top, and gently peel off shell. You will notice that if you can peel the shell with the membrane attached on the inside, then the shell comes off almost all in one piece, if the membrane is not attached to the shell then you end up with a whole bunch of shell fragments which makes peeling more annoying.
ENJOY!!!
