I love hard boiled eggs. They're great for deviled eggs, egg salad, or just eating plain with a sprinkle of salt.

When it comes to boiling eggs, the biggest problem is that people can easily over-cook them, leading to a dark green color around the yolk and a somewhat sulphuric taste. Here's my method for how to hard boil eggs so that they don't get overcooked.

Did you know? Older eggs are easier to peel than fresh eggs. If you're planning to make hard boiled eggs for Easter and want to make sure that the eggs are easy to peel, buy your eggs at least a week ahead of time (two weeks is even better, they'll keep).

If you've boiled a batch of eggs that you are now finding difficult to peel, try cracking the shells all around without peeling them and soaking the eggs in water for a while. The water often seems to seep in enough under the shell to make the egg easier to peel.
