I once heard that the mark of a great chef is how well she can scramble eggs. Of course. It's always the simple things that stump you, like how it took me years to figure out how to cook rice perfectly. Making hard boiled eggs is one of those kitchen tasks that you'd think would be a no-brainer, but is actually hard to do well. It's not easy to consistently get a creamy yolk without that icky green outer ring and to escape rubbery egg whites unless, of course, you follow these easy directions for how to boil an egg perfectly.
All it takes is a little attention, or at least a timer.
