How long can hard boiled eggs last?

Assuming I start with fresh eggs, boil them until they are
hard enough to slice with a household egg slicer, and
refrigerate promptly, how long will they last?

I seem to recall a restaurant I worked in many many years
ago kept them peeled and in water in the walk-in, but that
was prolly just for ease 0f use when needed... but... Would
they last longer shelled or unshelled.

Shelled or unshelled, I'd not recommend storing hard cooked
eggs in the fridge more than 48 hours. Perhaps that
restaurant was extending the storage time by holding the
hard cooked eggs in a mild brine. Of course hard cooked eggs
can keep quite a long while pickled in vinegar. and salt. To

Any egg longevity experts out there?

Don't boil them until you are ready to use them.

It's been my personal experience that boiled eggs will keep
a fraction of the time that raw eggs will.

Good, undamaged raw eggs can keep for up to 6 weeks or more
at 40 degrees.

I've had hard boiled eggs, in the shell, spoil after
about 2 weeks.

Peeled and sliced? I'd guess 2 to 3 days TOPS.

as they do not take much preparation it is really best to do
them as and when needed, but, if you find you have done too
many then they will certainly keep in the fridge for a
couple of days. i would shell them and wrap in cling film as
they could make other foods smell eggy.

I like eggs for breakfast but am always in a hurry. Boil a
batch Sunday night. Keep them in the refrig (in the shell)
and eat them all week. Been doing it off and on for years -
no problem. So to answer the question - at least 5 days. HH

It's always good to remind the Easter Bunny about this
during this time of year.
