How do you tell if a hard boiled egg is bad?
Chef's answer
The most noticeable sign that a hard-cooked egg has gone bad is the odor. If the egg has any sort of unpleasant, sulfurous, or rotten smell, it has gone bad and should not be consumed. If the hard-boiled egg is still in its shell, you may have to crack it open in order to notice any odor.
