What went wrong with these eggs?
I just hard-boiled four eggs. Put them in boiling water straight from the fridge, for a little over 12 minutes.
One of them turned out perfect. The other three were... strange.
- Egg #1: https://ibb.co/DPy4md7Y All yellow. I've never seen an egg look like this before!
- Egg #2: https://ibb.co/BVHKJjXD I've seen this hint of grey around the yolk a few times before. It usually looks fine on the inside. Is this from overcooking?
- Egg #3: https://ibb.co/8gn3hMr6; https://ibb.co/WWm82qXX What is this bubble effect?
I buy eggs from small local grocery stores, where they don't refrigerate eggs. It's suuuper hot here in India these days and these particular eggs in the pictures were packaged on the 13th. I bought and refrigerated them on the 21st, which means they were stored in a hot environment for a good week. Could that be contributing to the issue? But why aren't other people bothered by this enough that stores start refrigerating eggs?! T.T
The only thing the box says about the hens' diet is that it's vegetarian.
I am so sick of boiled eggs turning out weird or just unusable. In the recent past, I've peeled at least three eggs only to find that they were 100% grey and stinky. Sometimes, they look alright but still smell pretty strong.
(But today's eggs don't seem rotten, nor do they smell "bad".)
