You boiled eggs for over an hour are they safe to eat?

It's unlikely that boiled eggs that have been cooked for over an hour would be unsafe to eat, but they will likely be rubbery and unpleasant.

Here's why:

* Overcooked eggs: While boiling eggs for a long time won't make them unsafe, it will result in them becoming extremely hard and rubbery. The longer you cook them, the more the yolk will solidify and become dry.

* Safety: The main concern with eggs is the risk of Salmonella contamination, which is killed by proper cooking. Boiling eggs for 10 minutes is usually enough to kill any bacteria present.

If you're worried, here's what to do:

* Check the texture: If the yolk is very hard and dry, the egg is likely overcooked.

* Taste it: If it tastes rubbery or unpleasant, it's better to throw it away.

* In doubt, throw it out: It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to food safety.

Next time, stick to the recommended cooking time for perfect boiled eggs:

* Soft-boiled: 3-4 minutes

* Medium-boiled: 6-8 minutes

* Hard-boiled: 8-10 minutes
