I wouldn't use them. I can afford to do them over. I'm taking no chances on my health.

Now, if you want to volunteer them as a karma to those above me who voted they would eat them, go for it.

RE EDIT: I removed my "was the pot covered?" because the eggs themselves are sealed. For the most part.

Avoid truck cheese in August

Egg karma... interesting! That'd be fun to ship USPS, with the whole "anything liquid, perishable, fragile or hazardous" routine.

To your question: yes, the pot was covered.
All night.

What about gas station sushi???

Eat them.

I've been using seven minutes in my instapot for cooking eggs.
It's the minimum amount of time that fully cooks the centers. Then just straight to the fridge, no ice bath required. Yeah, I get the green ring, but the shells almost jump off the eggs which is more important to me.

That's great. My IP doesn't seem to do that and I gave up w/ the eggs. The IP now sits in a closet. As far as instapots go, I think I got a bad egg.

Probably fine. But how much do eggs cost, and is it worth hurling your guts out for several days?

Risk/reward.

Best boiled egg technique : works every time.

I've used this method before and it works very well.

I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs, have tried multiple ways to cook them. This method from Jacque Pepin is the absolute best I've ever tried. While bringing the water to a boil, use one of those little push pins you use on a cork bulletin board (which are usually quite sharp) and prick a hole into the round end of each egg. Lower the eggs into the moderately boiling water. If closer to room temp the eggs should go for 10-11 min, if cold up to 13-14 min, personal preference. When done rinse the eggs in cold tap water, or ice water for 5-10 min.

Every time I do this, the egg whites are soft, and the yolks are not hard and green, not overly sulfury smelling. Plus, they easily peel even after a week in the fridge.

Is it safe to eat hard-boiled eggs left out overnight?

It is not safe to keep hard-boiled eggs at room temperature for long, and refrigeration is necessary if they will not be consumed within a few hours. If taking to a picnic or packing in a lunch, be sure to keep the eggs in a cool place.

4 hours is the guideline,

as in you have 4 hrs to get any food under 42 degrees or whatever the recommended fridge temp is,

that is prepared foods,

4 hrs is the time the Gov says bacteria can take over, vs just be there,

however,

boiled eggs, left overnight (lets assume 10 hrs?) in water, on the stove or counter, and not removed from the water,

should be fine,


as in no bacteria, other than free ranging types floating in the air, and then they would need to swim, and penetrate the eggs shell,

eat away,

For perfect boiled eggs without the shell sticking, here's my process. I've been using it for a year with perfect results every time.

-Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil
-Carefully place eggs in water and keep at a rolling boil for 13 minutes
-Remove pot from heat and dump out hot water
-Fill pot with ice and water and let sit for 15 minutes
-Your eggs are finished and ready to peel

Tony.

This.

Eat them.

In Europe they don't refrigerate eggs

Don't try that with eggs bought at the store in the USA.

Eggs fresh out of the chicken have a film on the outside surface of the egg that protects the egg from bacteria, and are safe on the counter for 1 month or in the fridge for 2 months.

The USDA requires commercially produced eggs in the US to be washed prior to sale, which removes the protective film.

Storebought eggs in the US are washed and *ARE NOT* safe to store outside the refrigerator.

Eggs sold in stores in Europe are generally NOT washed, and are safe to store unrefrigerated.

I have some chickens. Eggs from my chickens sit in a basket on the counter. If the chickens aren't laying enough or we need a bunch of eggs for something, eggs from the store go in the fridge.

Boiling eggs also removes the film, unwashed eggs that are hard boiled are not safe to store unrefrigerated. No idea how likely sitting out overnight is to actually cause a problem, but if you take two fresh-out-of-the-chicken eggs and hard boil one and set them out on the counter the uncooked egg will be fine in a month and the hard boiled one will be a rotten disgusting mess long before then.

Why does everyone have to make such a simple procedure into an arduous task.

Back in the day when I was a young Buck…it was a common practice to take boiled eggs on our mountain hikes after boiling them…it was recommended to eat them three or four days into our adventure…this was my norm and I never got the pukes…my Aunt Sandra (the chicken whisperer) never refrigerates the eggs she will use within a few days after the hens squeeze them out and recommends my using the older refrigerated eggs for boiled eggs (they will “peel” easier)…she knows her “chicken shit” and I trust her on the subject

Never underestimate human ability to complicate simple tasks. Lol.

I pierce the air space end (large end) with a pin. This forces the air out and allows the cold water to enter when you quench them in ice water. Shells will practically fall off the egg. And much less sulfur odor.
Also get the water boiling first and go about 11-12 minutes. Trick from Jacque Pepin, he’s boiled a few

I’d eat them. If you are really worried, bring the water to a boil again to kill whatever maybe floating around in it.

I was shocked on Monday: XL eggs were $1.83/dozen. Two months ago, the same brand, store, etc. were $3.65/dozen.
