Step 1
Bake
Place the eggs directly on an oven rack. Bake the eggs for a half hour in an oven set to 325 degrees, not preheated.
-
Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to prevent a messy cleanup in case any eggs break.
-
Step 2
Take eggs out
Take the eggs out of the oven and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking further.
-
Step 3
Enjoy
Take the eggs out of the water and put them in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. The eggs will last a week in the refrigerator if they are kept in the shell.

The green ring that forms between the yolk and the egg white when you hard-boil an egg is caused by the sulfur and hydrogen in the white reacting with iron in egg yolk.
