How long can you keep boiled eggs?
Boiled eggs keep for a short but safe window if handled properly:
- Hard-boiled eggs (unpeeled): up to 7 days in the refrigerator
- Hard-boiled eggs (peeled): about 3–5 days in the refrigerator
Tips for safety:
- Refrigerate them within 2 hours of cooking (sooner if it’s hot).
- Store in a covered container to prevent odors and moisture loss.
- If peeled, keep them with a damp paper towel to stop drying out.
- If an egg smells off or looks slimy, don’t eat it.
