Question 1

How do I make hard-boiled eggs for egg salad?

Accepted Answer

There are different methods to make hard-boiled eggs, but here is one simple way: Place the eggs in a saucepan in a single layer, and fill the pan with enough cold water so that it covers the eggs by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, drain the water then fill the saucepan with cold water and ice. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Tap each egg firmly on the counter until cracks form all over the shell. Peel under cold running water.

Question 6

When does Egg Salad expire?

Accepted Answer

Egg salad, once prepared, can last in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. As it's a homemade product, it typically does not have a printed date on the package. If the egg salad is left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, spoiling may occur and it's better to discard it. Freezing egg salad is not recommended because of the presence of mayo, which can separate and become watery after being frozen.

Question 7

How do you tell if Egg Salad is bad?

Accepted Answer

Telling if egg salad has gone bad is quite straightforward. One way to identify spoiled egg salad is by its smell. Had it developed a sour, rancid, or generally off-putting smell, it's already bad. In terms of appearance, if you notice any mold or other unusual colorations, it's time to throw it away. Do not taste test if you're unsure as egg-based product spoilage can cause foodborne illness.
