Eggs after Easter: how to properly store and what to cook with them

After Easter, there are often many boiled eggs left, which are just asking to be put into your favorite dishes. But not everyone knows how long they can be safely stored and how best to use them so that nothing spoils and is not wasted. UNN figured out how to properly store boiled eggs and what delicious things to make from them.

Boiled eggs are stored for much less time than raw eggs, so it is important to follow basic hygiene rules and not forget about expiration dates:

• unpeeled eggs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The shell partially protects the product from bacteria, but over time this no longer guarantees safety;
• peeled or stuffed eggs are best eaten as soon as possible — within 48 hours. Without the shell, the egg spoils faster and absorbs odors from the refrigerator.
