With cooking the shell and membrane that protects the egg is
compromised. It's safer to keep hard cooked eggs in the fridge
shelled rather than unshelled, and be sure they're dry, not sitting in
a puddle of water... a plastic colander helps. To keep hard cooked
eggs longer pickle them... actually a nice snack and fun to experiment
with different recipes. I much prefer pickled eggs to deviled eggs,
especially when deviled eggs are made by someone else; saves all that
labor and holds for a month instead of a day. Pickled eggs are
essentially peeled hard-boiled eggs that have been preserved in a
solution of vinegar, salt and a selection of spices. They can be kept
for several weeks or even months in a sealed jar and do not have to be
stored in the refrigerator.
