🧠 Bonus: How to Tell If a Hard-Boiled Egg Is Bad

Foul, sulfuric smell (rotten egg odor)
Slimy or pinkish yolk (bacterial growth)
Float test: Old eggs float in water due to large air cell — not always unsafe, but check smell before eating
✅ When stored in the fridge, hard-boiled eggs last up to 1 week.
