What happens if you boil an egg for 30 minutes?
Boiling an egg for 30 minutes will result in a very hard-boiled egg with a dark, greenish-grey yolk.
Here's why:
* Overcooked white: The egg white will become tough and rubbery.
* Overcooked yolk: The yolk will become very firm and dry, and may even turn a greenish-grey color due to the iron in the yolk reacting with the hydrogen sulfide released during cooking.
* Potential for cracking: Over-boiling can cause the egg to crack and leak.
While technically edible, a 30-minute boiled egg won't be very pleasant to eat. It's best to stick to the recommended boiling times for different levels of doneness.
Here's a general guide:
* Soft-boiled: 3-5 minutes
* Medium-boiled: 6-8 minutes
* Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes
Enjoy your perfectly boiled eggs!
