what happens if....

you boil eggs for 50 minutes instead of the recommended 20 or so? i totally forgot they were on the stove! can they still be eaten or will they be totally gross? thanks

The whites will probably be tough and the yolk gets that bluish tinge on the outside when overcooked. I don't think there is anything dangerous our unhealthy about eating them though.

They'll be dry. but edible.
the deli in my ofice building ALWAY overcooks em, & I eat them all the time.
where the yolk meets the white it will be grrenish, but that's fine.

please dont eat them....it is very bad for you....i know you think that i am kidding but when i went to cooking school the teachers always told us it;s bad to eat....if you break open the egg and the yolk has a greenish color it has been over cooked.....hope that helps
