Overcook Hard-Boiled Eggs?
In case you ever wanted to know, it is hard to overcook a hard-boiled egg. Every other day, I boil four or five eggs to eat as my ever-so-hurried breakfast. Yesterday, I put four on the stove, and FORGOT ABOUT THEM. I left them on for at least 40 minutes, until I went down stairs and found 4 eggs, almost bone-dry, sizzling in the bottom of the pot. My immediate reaction was to throw them out, but then my curiosity got the best of me. Why don’t I try one? So, I did. The egg white was not much harder then a regular hard-boiled egg, and the yoke was nice and yellow. The only odd thing I noticed was that there was a slight greenish tint surrounding the yoke. Between yesterday and today, I actually ate all four, and my stomach is fine.
In case you ever wanted to know.
