FOOD SAFETY TIP #5: Hard Cooked Eggs

Hard-cooked eggs can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Do not freeze hard cooked eggs.

OK, we've gone through a bunch of the variations of eggs. It turns out that nothing with yolks in it likes to freeze.

DEFINITION: Hard Cooked /Hard Boiled Egg

Boiled eggs are eggs (typically chickens' eggs) cooked by immersion in boiling water with their shells unbroken. (Eggs cooked in water without their shells are known as poached eggs, while eggs cooked below the boiling temperature, either with or without the shell, are known as coddled eggs.) Hard-boiled eggs are either boiled long enough for the egg white and then the egg yolk to solidify, or they are left in hot water to cool down, which will gradually solidify them, while a soft-boiled egg yolk, and sometimes even the white, remains at least partially liquid.
