Although it is considered an easy task, preparing a hard-boiled egg requires a method to achieve the right texture. Usually, we overcook the eggs, resulting in green-edged yolks, for example; or at other times, they are not cooked properly. The trick is to place the eggs in a pot with cold water, so that the water covers them by more than two and a half centimeters. Then, when the water reaches boiling point, lower the heat to the minimum; the goal is to keep the water hot. The eggs cook for about ten minutes, then after that time, turn off the heat and place the eggs in a bowl with ice water for one minute. After that, they are taken out and gently pressed on a hard surface, so that the entire shell cracks, and they are placed back in the ice water for five minutes. Finally, the eggs are peeled, and you can notice the difference with a bright yellow yolk and a cooked but soft white.
