20 mins? 10 is more than enough.

FOUR eggs!!?? You'll never financially recover from this

I don't take risk with food poisoning. Im not going to try to save $1 vs possibly getting a food borne illness.

Smart move? Throw away.

I am in the discard them and start over again, is it not worth taking the chance over 4 eggs if I were eating them.

As far as cooking I have found like other using a Pressure cooker to be the best way.

I place a wire rack in the bottom of my pot. I place about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water in the pot. I place a dozen eggs on the rack, close the lid and use the preprogrammed setting for white rice. It automatically sets a timer for 8 minutes.

As soon as the beeper goes off I depressurize the pressure cooker and remove the eggs to a bowl of cold water to chill then drain, then in the refrigerator..

When I peal the the eggs the shells come right off with no sticking to the whites.

My pressure cooker does them perfect every time, how dun your egg will turn out may vary depending on your pressure cooker.

Whenever a question like this comes up, I can only marvel that before refrigeration of any sort, people must have grabbed the eggs as soon as they popped out of the hen and rushed to cook them immediately. I mean, how else could they have possibly survived?

And undercooked eggs? A book I’m reading now mentioned that the wife of one prominent WWII general (Patton, perhaps) ate a raw egg every morning. Although refrigeration wasn’t unknown then, it was much less common and was often literally an ice box, and not the ubiquitous sort we expect to keep us alive today.

^^^ And howsabout the guy who makes his lunch at 0500, tosses in a hard boiled egg, and doesn't get around to eating it until the afternoon after it's been sitting in his truck all day? I can't begin to tell you how many times I've done that over the years and I'm still kicking.

I have had some pretty bad food poisoning in my life; one sent me to the hospital. I would not eat them only because I am super careful to try to never get food poisoning.

He thinks you're the odd man out if you don't eat them.

I posted about this on the last page.

Fresh out of the chicken eggs have a protective film on the outer surface and are shelf stable for a month.

Storebought eggs in the US require refrigeration because the USDA requires commercial egg producers to wash the eggs, which removes the film.

Boiling also removes the film (boiled, unwashed eggs are not shelf-stable either).

As I recall, we all ate Easter Eggs as kids. They were boiled, decorated, hidden by the 'Easter Bunny' while we slept, and after the Easter Egg Hunt in the AM, were displayed in a basket ALL DAY on Easter Sunday! Nobody EVER got sick...Neither will you!

Honestly, I'd be more concerned with what's on the outside of the shell. What's on the inside of the egg shell is just fine...That's the way nature designed it. There's a 'film' on the inside of the shell of a hard boiled egg as well, so as long as the shell is not cracked you'll be just fine!

Insta-Pot for the easiest best hard boiled eggs. They peel super easy! Peel a egg in literally 2 seconds.

Fun fact:

Spin an egg in its shell for about a minute real fast. Placing it in pantyhose is the best method. Then boil it as normal. Peel it and the yoke will be on the outside and the whites will be on the inside.

Id try one egg and see if it tastes ok, eat the rest.

You wouldn't want to eat at my house, We leave the beans out until they are gone. Rice stays out on the stove also.

Both are covered, Heat up the bean every morning to a boil and eat away.

We routinely leave large pots of soup out overnight.

OH, and our eggs are always out on the counter, boiled or not.

2 wristing it, Rolex? and Seiko. As to the egg question, I boil eggs up 2 dozen at a time, throw in the fridge and snack on them till they are gone no problems, In Germany eggs are not refrigerated because they keep the natural coating on them, US have to be refrigerated because they are chemically washed and it removes the coating.

I don't get it.
