Hard Boiled Eggs - how to stop the yolk discolouring?

scottishminnie

I would like to make hard boiled eggs to have as part of my lunch. I would like to make them the evening before however when I've tried this before the yolks have gone black by next day which isn't a nice look - although I'm sure fine to eat.

Does anyone know how I can hard boil them the evening before and make sure they stay golden coloured in the middle?! I'd rather not have to peel them in the office at lunchtime and would like to slice them before I leave home in the morning.

Thanks

Do you mean around the edge f the yolk? I think thatis because you boil them for too long.

i think if you run under cold water for ten minutes so eggs cool rapidly that stops the yolk edge going grey

as soon as you take them off the heat plunge the eggs into cold water, that stop they yolks going discoloured xx
