Why do cooked eggs smell similar to farts?


 Answer: However, these same chemical reactions can also cause heated eggs to smell like farts. (This is particularly true of hard-boiled eggs.)  When heated, these sulfur atoms are converted to hydrogen sulfide, the nasty gas associated with rotten eggs and bodily functions.

Question: Do eggs smell like fart?
The last thing you want on a towering bowl of ramen is an egg that smells like farts. Sadly, this familiar and very unappetizing smell is a natural byproduct of cooking eggs.  When we cook eggs, these sulfur atoms convert chemically to hydrogen sulfide, a gas that smells like that other kind of gas.

QuestionHow do you keep hard boiled eggs from smelling in the fridge?

AnswerPeel the shell from each egg and store in a plastic container with a lid. Fill the bowl with cold water or, cover the eggs with a damp paper towel. Place the lid on the container and keep for seven days. Change the water or paper towel once a day.
