How long can you keep hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator?
It doesn’t take that long to make a hard-boiled egg. All you need is about ten minutes a stove and a pot of water. But knowing how long they’ll keep after you’ve boiled them? Well that’s a bit trickier.
According to the experts at the American Egg Board you can store a hard-boiled egg in its shell (not peeled) in the refrigerator for up to a week. However a peeled hard-boiled egg should be eaten the same day it is peeled.
It seems counterintuitive that hard-boiled eggs whether peeled or unpeeled do not keep as long as fresh eggs which keep for three to five weeks in the refrigerator because they are boiled. There is a reason for this.
