    When I get an egg that’s been boiled long enough to taste sulphur, I wonder when the cook gave up on life.

    That’s a nasty looking egg. See below to aim for glory.

      I sometimes make boiled eggs in a pressure cooker and let them go 3 hours, also glorious I swear

      I agree with you about the OP egg though

        Temperature is everything. You can sous vide an egg to just below jelly consistency. The proteins convert as the temp goes up.
