Storage

Here are some handy tips for storing your eggs, whether you plan to enjoy them immediately or save them for later.

MAKE AHEAD: If you want to prepare these hard-boiled eggs in advance for a busy week ahead, go for it!

After you’ve cooked and cooled them in the ice bath, simply peel the eggs and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

They can stay fresh for up to five days when refrigerated.

AT ROOM TEMPERATURE: Hard-boiled eggs should only be kept at room temperature for up to two hours.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store eggs in an airtight container in the fridge.

Peeled eggs will last up to three days and unpeeled eggs will last for up to seven days in the fridge.

IN THE FREEZER: We do not recommend freezing hard-boiled eggs as the egg whites will end up rubbery.
