What Is the Shelf Life of Boiled Eggs?

Removing or keeping the shell on a hard boiled egg does not influence its shelf life. Hard boiled eggs should be stored either in water, refreshed daily, or an airtight container in the refrigerator. Freezing changes the cellular structure of the eggs and the texture is rubberized when thawed to room temperature. Meals using hard boiled eggs should be consumed within two hours of preparation or chilled using a cooler or frozen gel packs.
