Avoid Overcooking
Boil eggs just long enough to reach the desired doneness. For hard-boiled eggs, 9–12 minutes is usually sufficient.
Use Gentle Heat
Rapid boiling can overcook the eggs and promote the sulfur-iron reaction. Try bringing eggs to a boil, then reducing to a gentle simmer.
Cool Quickly
Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately after cooking. Rapid cooling stops further cooking and reduces green discoloration.
Use Fresh Eggs
Fresher eggs are less prone to developing green rings, though older eggs are still safe to eat.

Interesting Facts About the Green Ring
The green ring forms more easily in older eggs because the yolk and white are slightly more alkaline.
Soft-boiled eggs rarely show a green ring because the yolk remains less cooked.
This phenomenon is purely cosmetic—taste and nutrition are unaffected.
