What's the shelflife of hardboiled eggs?

Jalima1108: the total shutdown on eggs is an emergency, short-term decision of a dermatologist as I have had to come off statins abruptly (was getting all sorts of dermatological problems). I came right off any kind of alcohol too and I must say I miss the eggs more than the GT or glass of wine!

I don't put eggs in my scones but perhaps that's where I go wrong

Eggs keep for several weeks uncooked. Cooking shortens their shelf life.

I would just buy six and get the longest date then you DH can eat them all up in two weeks without having to hardboil them.

I think they keep better not hard boiled ! and are more versatile for using . Not helpful as you have already cooked them ... sorry

Could you have not used 6 off them to make a couple of batches of scones for afternoon tea and put the rest in the freezer for a later date.

I'm wondering why your doctor advised you not to eat eggs giulia?
If it is because your cholesterol is high, I think that advice is out-dated.

You don't have to answer

I’d say they’d be fine for a week with shells on. Scotch eggs, which are basically hard boiled eggs, are sold with shelf life of a few days after purchase so they will definitely be ok for longer than 24 hours. May get a bit black/grey inside though, but not harmful.

Definitely no longer.

One week in the fridge with shells left on.

I have kept hard booked eggs for a werk, and they were fine to eat

24 hours I think.
I might have used them to make meringues which can keep in a tin and lots of mayonnaise!

Pickle them?
