Dairy & Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs
Fridge (4°C / 40°F)
1 week (peeled or not)
Freezer (−18°C / 0°F)
Not recommended — whites go rubbery
Store it right
- Keep in a covered container; peeled ones in a little water changed daily.
- Refrigerate within two hours of cooking.
Signs it has gone off
- Sulfur smell that's strong and unpleasant, not just eggy.
- Slimy or chalky white.
- Grey-green ring plus an off smell.
Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
