    I usually use them within 4-6 days, however I have been known to peel them, place in a container with salt and some vinegar and they last 3-4 weeks. Think pickled eggs.

    I want to smoke them at an event, and I am leaving home five days prior to the fest. Just trying to have less to do at the prep party.

    These might be a better method for the party.

    Appetizer, Eggs, Smoked, Deviled, Reg and Chuck

    If you haven't done these yet you must give them a try. Someone awhile back (I think it was Reg) posted about smoking eggs. I thought he was kidding but my curiosity got the better of me. What could I lose? 89 cents worth of eggs? Anyhow they are fantastic.




    Ingredients
    24 eggs (hard boiled)
    favorite rub (spicy)
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    2 tsp dry mustard
    2 TBS worchestershire sauce
    2 TBS vinegar




    Procedure
    1 Boil and peel two dozen eggs,
    2 Roll three in rub. I use a spicy rub, Big Bubbas Rubba Chipotle. It adds a little kick to them.
    3 Place them all on an inverted plate setter covered in foil and smoke them at 200* or less, with a combination of apple and orange chips for about 90 minutes.
    4 I start out with a low, smoky fire (the C~W method) so the eggs are actually starting out in a 100* BGE. It then slowly climbs to 180* - 200* for the next 1/2 hour. I flip them once and take them out no longer than 1-1\2 hours.
    5 I usually rinse off the eggs after smoking them, it cleans them up a bit. They look pretty much like a brown egg. Don't rinse the rubbed ones, you want that rub in the filling.
    6 Chop up the three rubbed ones. Split the remaining eggs and add the other yolks. You can use your favorite Deviled Egg recipe if you desire. I use mayo, dry mustard, worchester, vinegar and usually a little more rub.
    7 Spoon the mixture into the cavity of the remaining egg halves and serve.

    270', applewood, indirect, 20-30 mins. They turn dark amber. No waiting time to eat. I've made deviled eggs and egg salad, but will just cut in half for the fest, to demonstrate what the BGE can do. I'll hold this recipe for company. Thank you.

    PattyO: Totally in compliance in food service to boil and hold one week, provided they are maintained at a temperature of 41* or less. If they go out of temp, get rid of 'em. Probably easier to transport boiled, in shell, packed in ice, then peel on site, but a warning that they will be a b!!ch to peel. Just make sure you maintain the temp below 41*, and all will be well.

    Eggs raw are good for weeks

    Same for cooked.
    Remember, your fridge temps are designed to keep bacterial action to a minimum. Cooking the raw eggs makes them even safer

    Way way way longer than five days
    Can't think of a food that becomes unsafe in five days in a fridge

    LC,

    Our easter eggs that hung around for at least a week peeled like little dreams for me. I also used your boiling method and NO green ;)

    Rip: Green Yolks = :sick::sick: for me anyways! And in all honesty, I think I learned that method from Americas Test Kitchen!! I can't take credit where it is not due! I can be a messenger though...
