Yesterday I was pondering about something. What happens to a hard boil egg after a week left untouched? I know it will go bad. But it will not look bad right? cos still got the shell containing the inside.

well it won't go bad if you refrigerate it. but if you leave it out it will. but no I believe it will look the same. just stink to high heaven eventually. lol

no I am pretty sure the stink permeates through the shell. My experiment was with "non-cooked" eggs when I was a SMALL child (you know I thought I could get a baby chick to hatch if I just incubated an egg in an oven mitt..LMAO) and let me tell you it stank after a week -yep- right through the shell.. :)

If you store a hardboiled egg after a week even if its untouched is really dangerous to your health if you eat it. Because eggs which are cooked and stored for a week gets rotten and have a friend before who got poisoined when she eat the hardboiled egg which been stored at their refrigerator for just 4 days and she was rush into the hospital because she throw up and she have a stomach ache later the doctor found out that it was the egg who caused it.
