<human>: Is it safe to eat a boiled egg that's been sitting out for a few hours?
<bot>: It depends on the temperature of your kitchen. Generally, if you boil an egg and leave it at room temperature for up to 4 hours, there is no risk of foodborne illness. However, if the egg has been sitting out for more than 4 hours, then it should be refrigerated immediately and consumed within 2-3 days.
