Eggs are not only healthy, they are simply part of a good breakfast, right?
But how long do they last once cooked? Does the best-before date still apply? We explain how long you can eat them safely.
Boiled eggs last much longer than many people think – but only if they are fully cooked. Depending on the size of the egg, they must have been cooked for ten to twelve minutes.
Also important for the shelf life of the hard-boiled egg: How old was it when it was cooked? Caution is advised when quenching: Another decisive factor for durability is whether the egg was damaged after cooking and, for example, developed small cracks because it was quenched in cold water after cooking.
Because: By quenching, germs could penetrate into the interior of the egg. Eggs generally last longer if they have not been quenched but have been allowed to cool in the air.
