Introduction

Cooked eggs are a convenient source of protein and healthy fats. They’re also easy to make and store for later use. But how long do cooked eggs last? To answer that question, we need to look at two factors: the cooking method used and whether or not you intend on eating them cold or hot. That’s because some methods preserve the nutritional value better than others, while temperature affects your ability to digest certain foods properly

The shelf life of cooked eggs depends on the method you used for cooking them.

The shelf life of cooked eggs depends on the method you used for cooking them. The most common methods are:

• Microwave (about 20 minutes)
• Pan/skillet (about 10 minutes)
• Oven (about 12 minutes)
• Pressure cooker (about 5 minutes).

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

To store hard-boiled eggs, place them in an airtight container with a lid or cover them with plastic wrap. If you plan on storing them for more than one day, keep them in the coldest part of your fridge (usually on bottom shelves). Be sure that all of your eggs are covered with liquid so they don’t dry out and crack open while sitting at room temperature before you refrigerate them; this means if there’s only one egg left after making deviled eggs, place it back into its shell before storing!

If you’re wondering how long until those hard-boiled beauties expire, we’ll give you two answers: First off–don’t worry about that! Eggs are good for at least three weeks past their expiration date (assuming there’s no mold growing inside)–so even if yours go bad before then it won’t hurt anyone (except maybe yourself). Second off–if you want to get technical about things…it depends on whether or not they’ve been pasteurized! If not pasteurized then eat within 7 days of purchase date; if yes pasteurized then eat immediately upon purchasing because they already have been treated by being heated up enough times over 110 degrees Fahrenheit which kills any harmful bacteria present within their shells.*

Cooked eggs, including sunny-side up and poached, are good for about three days.

• Cooked eggs, including sunny side up and poached, are good for about three days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for six months (though we don’t recommend it).
• The best way to keep your hard-boiled eggs from going bad is by refrigerating them in their shells with their airtight lids on tightly. This will help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning or illness if consumed before its expiration date.
• If you cook an egg too much or undercook it slightly, there’s no need to toss out all those leftovers! Just note when you made them so you know how long they’ve been sitting around: cooked eggs stored at room temperature are only good for about two hours before they start becoming unsafe for consumption by humans due to salmonella poisoning risks; however, cooking methods like poaching and boiling reduce these risks significantly since they allow less exposure time between when an egg was laid by its hen mother (and thus could potentially be infected) versus when someone eats it later on down the road after being refrigerated overnight or longer periods between preparation times

For soft-boiled and scrambled eggs, it’s best to eat them within one day or two days, respectively.

Soft-boiled eggs are best eaten within 24 hours of cooking. In fact, the fresher the soft boiled egg is, the better it will taste. You can store soft-boiled eggs in their shells or peeled, but never refrigerate them! Scrambled eggs should be eaten within 48 hours for best results when storing in an airtight container or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap.

Eggs that are cooked and stored in the refrigerator should be used within 3 days for optimal freshness and quality of taste. If you want to extend their shelf life longer than three days (but not more than 7 days), place your hard-boiled or poached eggs into ice water immediately after cooking them so they won’t crack when chilled later on down line; then store them submerged under water until ready for use again at some point down road later on down line after being thawed out first before using again!

The storage time for cooked eggs varies by cooking method and whether they’re served hot or cold.

There are several different ways to cook eggs, each of which has its own storage time. The following table shows the maximum recommended time for each type of cooked egg (as well as the ideal temperature for storing them):

• Boiled: 3 days at room temperature or one week in the refrigerator
• Fried: 7 days at room temperature or two weeks in the refrigerator
• Poached: 7 days at room temperature or two weeks in the refrigerator

Conclusion

The best way to store cooked eggs is in the refrigerator. You can also store them at room temperature for up to two days, but make sure they’re kept covered so they don’t pick up any unwanted smells from other foods or surfaces. If you’re not sure how long your cooked eggs have been sitting out, it’s always best to throw them out just in case!
