Peel and Serve
For a runny, liquid yolk, reduce the standing time in hot water to 4-5 minutes.
For a jammy, slightly soft yolk, let the eggs stand in the hot water for 6-7 minutes.

The green or grayish ring is a harmless result of a chemical reaction between sulfur in the egg white and iron in the yolk. It typically happens when eggs are overcooked. The ice bath step helps prevent this by stopping the cooking process quickly.
For the easiest peeling, use slightly older eggs, cool them completely in an ice bath, and then gently crack the shell all over. Peeling under cool running water helps the shell slip off easily.
You can store unpeeled hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It's best to store them in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing other food odors.
