Question 1

How do I cook the eggs?

Accepted Answer

The term “hard-boiled” should refer to film noir detectives, not eggs. You want to cook them gently, so they don’t crack or get rubbery. Start with cold water, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Question 2

How do I get the #%$& shells off?

Accepted Answer

Peeling hard-boiled eggs can be frustrating, especially if they stick to the whites and make them look ragged. Some tips to make it easier are: use older eggs (they peel better than fresh ones), crack them all over before peeling, peel them under running water or in a bowl of water.

Question 3

Can I use the eggs the Easter Bunny left?

Accepted Answer

That depends on how long they have been out of the fridge. According to food safety experts, hard-boiled eggs can be safely left at room temperature for up to two hours, or up to four hours in cooler weather. If they have been out longer than that, or if you are not sure, it’s better to toss them.

Question 4

Long-ways or short-ways?

Accepted Answer

This is a matter of personal preference, but most people cut their deviled eggs long-ways (from tip to tip), because it gives more surface area for filling and garnishing. However, some people prefer short-ways (from side to side), because it makes more bite-sized pieces and prevents tipping over.

Question 5

Can I make a vegan deviled egg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can! There are many recipes online for vegan deviled eggs that use tofu, chickpeas, avocado, or other plant-based ingredients instead of eggs. Some common seasonings are vegan mayonnaise, mustard, nutritional yeast, turmeric, paprika, and black salt (which has a sulfurous flavor similar to eggs).

Question 6

When does Deviled Eggs expire?

Accepted Answer

Once made, deviled eggs should be consumed within two days for the best quality. Unopened hardboiled eggs (the base ingredient of deviled eggs) can generally last for a week in the fridge. Once the eggs are boiled, peeled and deviled, their expiration timeframe shortens. If you have (unpeeled) hardboiled eggs leftover and they're within a week of their 'boil date' they can be peeled, deviled and consumed. If you've taken the deviled eggs out during a party, it's best not to leave them out for more than two hours. Deviled eggs shouldn't be frozen as the mayonnaise-based filling can separate and become watery, plus the egg whites can become rubbery.

Question 7

How do you tell if Deviled Eggs is bad?

Accepted Answer

It can be tricky to tell if deviled eggs have turned bad just by looking at them. However, it's important to remember that when in doubt, throw it out! Bad eggs of any kind will give off an unmistakable smell of sulfur. If you're reaaaaally unsure, take a small bite; a bad egg will taste rotten and incredibly unpleasant. If your deviled eggs have a weird smell, are discolored or have been sitting out of the fridge for more than two hours, it's best to err on the side of caution and toss them out.

Question 8

Tips for storing Deviled Eggs to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your deviled eggs in the refrigerator. Stick a toothpick in each egg to avoid smashing them, and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

• If you're transporting deviled eggs to a party, use an egg carrier or carefully place them in a shallow container. Keep them chilled with ice packs if necessary.

• When storing, arrange the eggs in a single layer instead of stacking them. This will prevent the eggs from getting smashed and ruining their appearance.

• Be mindful not to leave deviled eggs out at room temperature for longer than two hours, as this increases the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illness.
