🥚 Is It Safe to Eat?
Yes — completely safe.
The texture might be slightly drier, but it’s not harmful.
✅ How to Prevent It
Try this method:
-
Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water.
-
Bring to a gentle boil.
-
Once boiling, turn off heat and cover.
-
Let sit:
-
9–12 minutes for large eggs.
-
-
Immediately transfer to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.
Rapid cooling stops the sulfur-iron reaction.
