I have been on a hard boiled egg kick over the past week or two. I was able to score a dozen eggs for only $4.99 or $5.99. I forget which.
I have been boiling a couple up at a time and putting them in the fridge. I can grab one any time I need a quick snack.
I just sprinkle on some salt and pepper.

. The cooking water goes to the plants, so I don't mind.

I would say no more than week but speaking for myself, they don't last that long around here!

I'll keep a hard boiled egg in the fridge for a few weeks and then toss it in the compost for whatever lucky critter finds it. I'm not too fond of cold, hard boiled eggs.

I sometimes boil an extra egg or two for the next day for salads, etc,. but I never thought about long term storage for a hard boiled egg. I do know it's recommended not to keep the cooked egg in the refrigerator for more than a week.

I even have an egg boiler, Just put eggs in a bit of water and when the hard boiled eggs are done the machine sounds an alarm, I love boiled eggs plain, deviled, and in salads, I do not keep mine in the fridge longer than a week.

I love hard boiled eggs — they’re like the perfect lazy snack. I think they last about a week in the fridge, but honestly I usually eat ’em way before that.
