Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the yolks from turning gray?
To avoid grayish yolks, ensure you don’t overcook the eggs. Boil them for about 9-12 minutes, then immediately place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help maintain their bright yellow color and creamy texture.
