For a firm yolk, simmer the egg for about 9–12 minutes after the water boils; use less time for a softer yolk. The exact timing varies with egg size and whether it started cold or at room temperature.
Cool a boiled egg in cold water as soon as it is cooked, then gently crack the shell all over. Start peeling at the wider end, where an air pocket often helps separate the shell; peeling under running water can also help.
Keep hard-boiled eggs refrigerated and use them within about one week. Store peeled eggs in a covered container and use them sooner; discard eggs that have been left at room temperature for an extended period.
The green-gray ring forms when an egg is overcooked: sulfur in the white reacts with iron in the yolk. It is usually harmless if the egg was handled and stored safely, though shorter cooking and quick cooling help prevent it.
Freezing a whole hard-boiled egg is not recommended because the white becomes tough and watery after thawing. You can freeze separated egg whites in a sealed container; thaw them in the refrigerator before using.
No; the egg whites in a boiled egg should be cooked, not raw. Cooking reduces the risk from harmful bacteria and makes egg protein easier to use. Choose pasteurized eggs for recipes that specifically call for uncooked whites.
A boiled egg includes both the yolk and the white, while egg whites are the separated white portion. Choosing only the whites leaves out most of the egg's fat and several nutrients found in the yolk.
Egg whites turn rubbery when they are cooked too long or at an overly high temperature. Simmer rather than vigorously boil the egg, and cool it promptly when it reaches the doneness you want.
Spin the egg on a flat surface: a cooked egg spins smoothly, while a raw one wobbles because its liquid contents keep moving. This test can help distinguish cooked from raw, but cutting one open is the surest way to check doneness.
Yes, but reheat a peeled egg gently in hot water rather than microwaving it whole. A whole egg can build up steam and burst, sometimes even after it has been removed from the microwave.

Boiled egg and egg whites are a simple way to serve a cooked whole egg with extra whites, rather than a dish tied to one particular region. The yolk is rich and creamy, while the whites are mild and firm. It works for breakfast, or sliced into salads and sandwiches; in many places, it is also an easy option to prepare ahead for meals.
The combination provides substantial protein with less fat than whole eggs alone: it contains 15.2 g of protein per 100 g. Pair it with vegetables or whole-grain toast for a more rounded plate, or use more whites and less yolk if you want a lighter option.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
