Do hard-boiled eggs need to be refrigerated?
Chef's answer
Refrigeration is key to keeping your hard-boiled eggs safe and fresh. Hard-boiled eggs should be stored in the fridge within two hours of boiling and kept on an inside shelf instead of in the door. Avoid peeling hard-boiled eggs until you are ready to eat or cook with them.
