I bought an electric egg boiler, which can boil upto 6 eggs at a time. The temperature at which it cooks those eggs is not mentioned.Is it safe? I mean, will it prevent salmonella poisoning? I will be eating hard boiled eggs not the runny ones.
Yes hard boiled eggs are safe unless you leave them sitting out for a week.
The nice thing about cooking is that if the temp is not hot enough to cook the food...it's not going to at all. So if it can cook the egg to hard boiled, then it's managed to get the yolk to the 158 degree temp needed to firm the yolks. So if you can get a hard boiled egg out of that sucker...then it's done the job and heated the egg to the required temp.
They are perfectly safe and I am guessing that the electric egg boiler only has one heat setting but the instruction booklet gives you times for soft, medium and hard boiled eggs. No matter how you cook your eggs in this gadget, they will be just as safe to eat as they would be if cooked in the conventional manner (in a pot of boiling water). I've been eating medium boiled eggs, cooked the old fashioned way, twice a week for over 40 years and have never gotten sick.
