Is it possible to overboil eggs?

I just realized I left some hard-boiled eggs cooking for the last hour, maybe longer.

They were basically simmering on med-low. They look fine, maybe a little darker than white. At first I thought they tasted a little different, but it may have just been psychological.

I know this seems like a pretty crazy question, but I just wanted to make sure. :) I shouldn't get sick or anything, right?

No, you won't get sick, I have done this before. You weren't zoning out into the tank when you forgot were you??

I would make egg salad out of them if they are tough, add a little mayo, mustard and diced onion and celery, and eat on whole wheat toast.

Thanks :)

Actually, I was watching some of the basketball games on TV and surfing RC. I ate a couple of the eggs before putting the rest away. I'm still here typing, so I guess I'll be OK.

Pretty sure if you don't boil eggs right you get nasty ol' eggs. Those that have green yolks and reek or sulfur. Of course,a master chef like I never does that.:D :rolleyes:
