No, you cannot peel a raw egg if it is placed in boiling water for too long. In fact, placing a raw egg in boiling water for an extended period will result in a fully cooked hard-boiled egg, not a raw one.

When you place an egg in boiling water, the heat causes the proteins in the egg whites and yolks to denature and coagulate, transforming the raw egg into a solid, fully cooked state. The longer the egg stays in the boiling water, the firmer the yolk and whites will become.

If you want a raw egg, you should not place it in boiling water. Instead, simply crack it open and use it in its raw state. If you desire a soft-boiled or hard-boiled egg, you can carefully place the egg in boiling water for the desired amount of time based on your preferences (usually 4-6 minutes for soft-boiled and 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled). Then, remove the egg from the boiling water and cool it down in cold water before peeling. The cooling process will help separate the eggshell from the cooked egg, making it easier to peel.
