The freshness of the egg also plays a crucial role. The older the egg, the more likely it is to develop a greenish ring. A simple trick to check its freshness is to submerge the egg in a glass of water: if it stays at the bottom, it is fresh. If it floats, it is best to use it for other dishes or throw it away.
Although the green ring is harmless, it often gives a disgusting impression. Especially when hard-boiled eggs are used in salads or dishes where presentation is important, it is important to make them visually appealing. A well-cooked egg is firm, uniform in color and reflects freshness.
Small adjustments in cooking can make a big difference. The egg thus remains a culinary wonder: inexpensive, versatile and full of nutrients. With a little attention to cooking, you can easily improve the end result. Perfect hard-boiled eggs are within reach for those willing to invest a few extra minutes in the cooking process.
