Twenty minutes is hardly a "few" and you'll need even more time if you
want the eggs quite cold. You can buy pre-boiled eggs in supermarkets. I
think they are safe enough and don't taste bad even if the shell has
been treated with some sort of resin.

But the thaw time is probably longer than the cook time if only time is a
consideration.

Perhaps the OP made too many and wants to put them away for later use.
Short term, on work days if I want a hard boiled egg for breakfast, I make
them the nigh before. They will be at room temperature and 15 seconds in
the MW warms them.

I would emphasize that store-bought hard-boiled eggs are refrigerated
but not frozen. They are really quite an extravagance but sometimes useful.

I'm sure she didn't make 3 dozen when she only needed two. Hard
boiled eggs keep a long time in the refrigerator, no freezing
required.

I guess that depends on your definition of "a long time".
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the American Egg Board, the
Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education and other egg
know-it-alls give you a week to use up your hard-boiled eggs
(providing you got them into the refrigerator within two hours of
cooking).

My definition of a long time is definitely more than 7 days.

And that they're still in their undamaged shell, hard cooked eggs
shelled store in the fridge safely for 3 days.

I give them a month and have never noticed any difference.

Has anyone ever seen the reasoning behind cooked eggs supposedly
becoming unfit to eat faster then raw ones?

Probably due to the air pocket that forms when eggs are hard boiled.
But as far as lasting only a few days under refrigeration? That's
overly cautious.

Raw eggs keep (after a fashion) for months under refrigeration,
hard boiled eggs only a couple weeks. They actually start to taste
kind of random after only a week.

It is possible the raw eggs contain "chemical defense" factors that act as
preservatives, antioxidants, or have antimicrobial properties; and these
factors are denatured when you boil the egg. That's my theory
anyway.

Steve

I haven't found that to be the case. I never keep hard-boiled eggs longer than 3 days in the fridge, but raw eggs last 6-8 weeks or more.

Well, hard boiled eggs (in the shell) can last at least a week and up
to two weeks for me. Raw don't get the chance to last longer because
12-18 are always used up by then.

I take them to work once in a while too, but I make them for about 8¢ each
at home. How much do they cost in the store?

I pay about $2/dozen.

Eggs are cheap here. The other day they were $1.60 per carton of 18...

Um, who doesn't have twenty damn minutes to hard boil eggs? What a
retarded thread.

You think that those rubber balls they sell in supermarkets is good?
What a retarded man.
