For a fully set yolk, simmer the egg for about 10–12 minutes, then cool it in cold water. Starting the timer once the water reaches a boil and cooling the egg promptly helps prevent overcooking and makes peeling easier.
A green-gray ring around a hard-boiled egg yolk is usually harmless. It forms when sulfur from the white reacts with iron in the yolk, often because the egg was cooked too long or cooled slowly. Shorter cooking and prompt cooling help prevent it.
Cooling a hard-boiled egg promptly in ice-cold water can make it easier to peel. Gently crack the shell all over, then peel under running water; older eggs also tend to peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
Yes, you can freeze eggs, but remove them from their shells first. Beat whole eggs lightly and freeze them in a sealed container; whites and yolks can also be frozen separately. Thaw them in the refrigerator and use them in cooked dishes.
Raw eggs in their shells generally keep for several weeks in a refrigerator. Store them in their carton on an interior shelf rather than in the door, and follow the date and storage guidance on the carton, especially if the eggs were washed.
In the United States and other places where eggs are washed before sale, eggs should stay refrigerated because washing removes the shell’s protective coating. In some countries, unwashed eggs are commonly sold unrefrigerated; follow local food-safety guidance and refrigerate them once chilled.
No, the float test does not prove that an egg is spoiled. An older egg may float because its air cell has grown, but it can still be safe; crack it into a separate bowl and check for an unusual smell or appearance.
Yes, a tiny blood spot in an egg is generally safe to eat and does not mean the egg is fertilized. It can happen during egg formation; remove the spot with a clean utensil if you prefer, then cook the egg thoroughly.
Do not wash eggs before storing them, because washing can damage the shell’s protective coating. If an egg is dirty, wash it just before use and dry it; avoid splashing water and clean your hands and nearby surfaces afterward.
Raw eggs can carry Salmonella, so homemade mayonnaise, smoothies, and other uncooked recipes made with ordinary eggs carry some food-poisoning risk. Use pasteurized eggs for recipes served raw, and cook eggs fully when serving people at higher risk of severe illness.

Eggs are a versatile everyday ingredient, with a firm white and rich yolk that work in everything from simple breakfasts to baking. They can be boiled, fried, poached or folded into omelettes and other dishes.
Across many English-speaking kitchens, eggs are served on toast, with vegetables, or as part of a cooked breakfast; they also appear in quick lunches and suppers. Their protein makes them a satisfying option, with 12.6 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, boil or poach them, or cook them with little added fat and pair with vegetables or whole-grain toast.
Very 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.
