Can I eat eggs that are cooked over 3 hours with low temperature looking a bit brown?

Question

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.

Answer

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.
