Question:

Why does a boiled egg smell bad but when its scrambled or fried it doesn't?


Answers:
Because the gases are trapped in the shell and get absorbed and concentrated into the egg.

See i think just the oppisite(sp) But they both taste great.

I've never known a boiled egg to smell bad unless it was rotten to start with.

Boiled eggs don't smell bad. Unless you boil rotten eggs, I guess.

The eggshell releases sulfur compounds.

i think because a boiiled egg takes longer to cook good question

thats a good question

When you cook the egg in its shell all the flavor and smells are trapped inside the shell and do not escape until the shell is broken

A boiled egg smells because its still in the egg shell

It has something to do with the sulfur in it. The shell covers it and stuff . . . uhh . . . I think there is more to it but I can't think right now, darn allergies!

b/c its particles are broken up and released, creating something new, scrambled or fried eggs!

You can catch a whiff of sulphur off of any eggs. Scrambled and fried eggs are usually seasoned and cooked in oil, so the scent may be masked.

the water is absorbed
