I know a lot of you are doing a Paleo diet, or a whole 30 diet, and are probably eating lots of eggs. And so I wanted to share my tips for getting perfectly boiled eggs that are both easy to peel, and do not have a green center.
How to Hard Boil An Egg
- Put your eggs in a pot of cool water.
- Make sure the water covers the eggs completely.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Boil for one minute.
- Cover pan, and turn off.
- Let eggs cook for 12 minutes covered and with pan off.
- Remove, and put in ice bath.
- Once completely cooled, feel free to peel!
As you can see, the centers are creamy and yellow, not green. And I can attest to the fact that peeling is Eazy Peazy!

I’ve done mine like this for quite sometime….another trick to be sure the eggs will peel nicely is have older eggs. If you want to make deviled eggs on Fri., buy your eggs the Fri. before.

Oh thank you for the tip! I will have to keep that in mind. Wonder why?

I have been using that method always but lately the eggs just won’t peel right. So frustrating!!!
Rachael says
Oh really? Darn, maybe you need to use older eggs. I know they peel better if they are a little older.
