How long can you keep a hard boiled egg unrefrigerated?

Answer 1

Because a hard-cooked egg is considered a potentially hazardous food, they should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Or no more than 1 hour if the ambient temperature is over 90 degrees F.

Answer 2

No, once a egg has boiled, that's it. It could be regarded as an example of a "thermosetting" (I think that's the word) material. Once heat has been applied to an egg, it chemical makeup has permantly changed, and cannot be changed back.

Answer 3

Yes, you can do this. You just need to make sure that the shell has not been cracked. It is safe if the shell was not cracked for about a week. Any longer you run the risk of contamination.

Answer 4

You can freeze hard boiled egg yolks easily, but hard boiled egg whites get very rubbery and tough.

Answer 5

Hard-cooked eggs should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Or no more than 1 hour if the ambient temperature is over 90 degrees F.
