clementine Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 My mom always told me that they should be eaten within 5 days. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) This report says a week. http://www.netwellness.org/healthtopics/poison/hardboiledeggs.cfm the USDA agrees (and I find them to usually errror on the side of caution) as long as they have not been out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Focus_On_Shell_Eggs/ Edited April 19, 2009 by Tap, tap, tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Do you think that one week guidelines stand if they were at room temperature for about 8 hours after the initial boiling? :confused: *sigh* Probably not... ETA: the article answered my question too! :D no more than 2 hours at room temperature. Edited April 19, 2009 by Emmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 From the answers I was given, I decided my eggs are still "safe". I made deviled eggs for lunch today, and we ate them. No one is sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think I'll toss them. Thanks. Probably should have done a search first. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
