Is it difficult to cook a hard-boiled egg? It shouldn't be. However, many people inadvertently over-cook the eggs which may result in a grey-like discoloration around the yolks and rubbery-textured egg whites.

1tablespoonrock salt
1tablespoonwhite vinegar
Instructions
Place eggs in single layer in a saucepan, cover with at least one inch of water over tops of shells. Add salt and white vinegar, cover the pot with lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Put the pan under cold water until full of cold water. To remove the egg shell, tap the egg against a hard surface and roll it between your hands until the shell is shattered. Then peel the shell off. This recipe is good for when you make Easter eggs because the eggs hardly ever crack when cooking!
