How to boil the perfect 10 minute egg for use in egg salad, deviled eggs, chefs salads is not so easy when you’re trying not to over cook them. A lot of people, including myself, can easily mess it up ending up with the dreaded green ring around the yolk, yuck! No one wants to eat hard boiled eggs with a green tint! 

I’d say my eggs come out perfect about 60 percent of the time. And as much as I cook you’d think that’s a pretty bad average. But I’m here to tell you…it’s just not that easy!!!
