Hi all,
My name's Liz and I've been lurking here off and on for a long time.
Picked up a whole lot of great recipes but thought I might start posting
now and then - mostly with questions - as there's always too much I don't
know. I'm a one pot or minimalist cook who never has enough time for
anything complicated. I love my slow cooker.

Question: if I cook hard-boiled eggs how long can I keep them in the
fridge?

Liz

The FDA says to use them within a week.

About a week. Write in pencil on the shell the date they were cooked -
a reminder for you to use them up. For more info: <www.aeb.org>

From the American egg board:

http://www.aeb.org/facts/index.html

HOW LONG WILL EGGS KEEP?
A: Fresh shell eggs can be kept refrigerated in their carton for at least 4 - 5
weeks beyond the pack date. Quality losses should be insignificant if the eggs
are refrigerated as soon as possible after purchase from a refrigerated case.

Hard cooked eggs should be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week.

I must admit I have kept pealed eggs in a baggie a little longer than that.

The raw ones keep for like a month. Hard to see that hard boiling

decrease that time, unless they crack.

Eggs are engineered (by Mother Nature) to be quite impervious to
anything entering... but cooking destroys that hermetic seal... if
boiling water were tossed on your skin you'd be prone to infection too.

left the dyed boiled eggs from easter unrefrigerated on the table until they
were gone. sometimes more than a week. we never got sick from it either. go

And I remember the day the kids returned to pre-school and I got a
call from the mother who was supposed to drive that day. Would I
drive the car pool? Her family had been in the emergency room the
night before with food poisoning from eating the Easter eggs which had
been left out.

Notice how they say "hard-cooked eggs"? Don't boil them. Put the eggs
in a non-reactive saucepan, cover with at least a couple inches of cold
water. Bring to boil, covered, then remove from heat and let stand
(covered) for about 18 minutes. Go from there.

I do 12 minutes, and they come out perfectly. When I've accidentally
left them longer, sometimes they overcook and the yolks turn green.

I read the thread, but since I never have trouble with my cooked eggs, I
don't have any interest in trying a new method.
