Hello! I was checking for egg quality and doing the “float test” when I noticed a few eggs bubbling. Do you guys think these are still edible? I went ahead and hard boiled them in the instant pot. If I find more should I toss them?

This really is not necessary or recommended.

Floating an egg will only tell you how old it might be.
They float due to evaporation when older.
It will not tell you if an egg is 'good' or 'bad'.
Plus then you've wetted the egg so it should be thoroughly washed and refrigerated.

When in doubt....
Open eggs one at a time in a separate dish before adding to pan or recipe,
use your eyes, nose, and common sense to decide if egg is OK to eat.
