Seriously, though, how long can boiled, unpeeled eggs last in the fridge and still be safe to eat? How about if the shell cracked while boiling?

I'm going to give you information completely contrary to what you'll hear from the professionals. I have found hardboiled eggs in the back of the fridge at least 6 weeks after cooking and they didn't kill me. When I'm putting them in the bowl, I put the cracked ones on top, and make sure to use them first. Again, the experts will tell you to use them 5 minutes ago to avoid contamination. I'll tell you that I've eaten the last of an all-cracked batch about a week after cooking without ill effects. Of course, I'm of the generation where Easter eggs were left on the dining room table for several days at room temperature, turkey was left on the counter till bedtime at room temperature, and other crimes the current wisdom says should have decimated the family. -- Finished 3/17/04 -- Elmo WIP: Fireman's Prayer, Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

I always put my HB eggs in a separate bowl so DH knows that they are the HB
ones. I never thought to use color--great idea. Debbie 12 days to Dallas!! "Karen C - California" wrote in message ...

You can spin the eggs on your countertop to determine if they are HB or
not. A raw egg will spin slowing and wobbly. A HB egg will spin quite fast and smoothly, like a top. This is the method I learned as a child and in 40 years I have never mistaken a raw egg for a HB egg. But I do like the food coloring idea for tracking the age of a HB egg.

I guess i should unlurk first. My name is Barbara, I live in a suburb of Los
Angeles. I have been cross stitching for about 20 years. I am a student again, trying to get an A+ cerificate in fixing computers, a N+ for networking computers and eventually an MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). A simple experiment will tell if an egg is hard boiled or not. If an egg will spin it is hard boiled a fresh egg will not spin. From a lurker with lots of bits of trivia memorized. |

Tuchscherer writes: You can spin the eggs on your countertop to determine if they are HB or not. This assumes you remember the formula. XH couldn't. As a result, more than once, he attempted to fry a HB egg. The first time he did it, I couldn't resist tweaking him that I know Texans deep-fry everything, but fried HB eggs seemed a bit excessive, even for someone raised on Texas cooking. I just don't understand the problem he had. If they're in a bowl, they're cooked. If they're in a carton, they're raw. I'm one of those organized people with a system for everything, but he could never figure out my system. (I hate to call him "stupid", because he had a near-straight-A average in grad school. I guess learning my systems was just not something he wanted to devote brain power to.) -- Finished 3/17/04 -- Elmo WIP: Fireman's Prayer, Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |
