[quote=Anonymous]Hard-boiled eggs last about a week if they are kept in their shells, and should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking, says the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. If they are peeled and then stored, they will stay fresh for only a few days in the fridge, says Hilary Shallo Thesmar, a spokesperson for the Egg Nutrition Center. Hard-boiled eggs are more susceptible to spoilage than fresh because the cooking process removes a naturally occurring waxy protective layer called the cuticle from their shells. The cuticle coats freshly laid eggs, and much of it is washed off when the eggs are graded and packed, says Thesmar. When the eggs are boiled, the water removes the rest. This leaves open pores in the shells for bacteria to enter and contaminate the eggs more easily. [/quote]
