Does anybody know how long hard boiled eggs can be kept
in the refrigerator before needing to be thrown out?

OK How about this
just a yes or no.
Boiled 8 days ago.
Throw out-yes
Keep-no

A quick google search says a week to a week and a half. I'd be OK with 8 days myself.

Google, why didn't I think of that?
Thank you!!

Or maybe just peel them, and see how they look/smell/taste? I'm a great believer in "if it doesn't look bad or smell bad it is probably OK to take a taste"

7-8 days is what I've been told too and I totally agree with Verbena, if it doesn't smell or look good..toss 'em out. Your good health is not worth eating a bad egg!

Hi! My name is Jo and I’m a recovering morbidly obese carb addict!

I know the hard boil eggs I have easily last 6 days I eat them all by then

I think I'm going to trash them.
I'm right on the cusp with how old they are.
Last time I ate some that were a week+ old I was burping up
that eggish type of taste. yuck.
I'll just do a new batch....
Thanks for everybody's help.

I'll keep them for a week - as long as the shell is intact. I always check for cracked shells and eat those ones within a day or two.

another vote for one week.

btw, here is a super handy website for how long foods are safe, including under what conditions:

One week.

I once had a couple of boiled eggs that were over a week old, maybe 9 or 10 days. Started to peel one and .. eeeeuuuwwww . The smell will announce itself pretty quickly, so you'll know to quit peeling and throw it out, plus its mates, if there are any

Awesome site! Thanks for that link; I've added it to my favourites

That Is a great web-site Robin!!
I am saving it too, Doreen.

I'm throwing them away now and starting fresh...

Thank you everyone!!
