Can I eat eggs that are cooked over 3 hours with low temperature looking a bit brown?
I wanted to try what happens to eggs over long cooking with low-temperature. The white thing became a bit brown and the odour is a bit different. Are they edible?
[Update] I used the lowest temperature in a gas stove with a pressure heavy iron container thing.
I ate the eggs, the yellow tasted dry while the white tasted actually better than usually.

Should be fine to eat, from a food safety perspective. The heat will be high enough to prevent bacterial growth.
I can't speak to the flavor, of course. Edible is a matter of opinion. Goodness knows we've all eaten our culinary screwups that nobody else would touch at least once.

How do you know eggs are bad?
Simply fill a bowl with cold tap water and place your eggs in it. If they sink to the bottom and lay flat on one side, they are fresh and good to eat. A bad egg will float because of the large air cell that forms at its base. Any floating eggs should be thrown out.How long can cooked eggs sit out?
Never leave cooked eggs or egg dishes out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours or for more than 1 hour when temperatures are above 90\xb0 F. Bacteria that can cause illness grow quickly at warm temperatures (between 40\xb0 F and 140\xb0 F).Why did my hard-boiled eggs turn brown?
The white of the egg will also turn a tan color as the glucose in the egg undergoes a Maillard reaction, the same process that makes cooked meat and caramelized onion turn brown. Most hard-boiled egg recipes call for heating the egg for a matter of minutes, or, in the case of slow-cooked eggs, a few hours.How do you know if an egg is bad after boiling?
The most noticeable sign that a hard-cooked egg has gone bad is the odor. If the egg has any sort of unpleasant, sulfurous, or rotten smell, it has gone bad and should not be consumed. What is this? If the hard-boiled egg is still in its shell, you may have to crack it open in order to notice any odor.Why I Eat 4 Eggs Daily and WHY YOU SHOULD TOO

Answer 2
Not only can you eat eggs that have turned brown during a long cooking period, you should! Something I came across a couple years back: the 300 minute egg. They're delicious, and I love the way they look, too.

In the traditional Jewish Sabbath stew called cholent, the stew is put in the oven before the end of the day on Friday. It's cooked overnight and eaten at lunch on Saturday. The Sephardis (North African, Spanish, or Arab areas) often put whole eggs in the shell into the cholent.
This recipe claims that the eggs are the star of the show. Here are some other recipes. (Including in a crock pot.)
