How Long Are Hard Boiled Eggs Safe To Eat Left Out At Room Tempture?

Answer Question

7 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Kiwibros is much closer to correct, than the other answerer.  Eggs should not be left out at room temperature for very long.  They may be OK after an hour or two, but there's really no way to tell, and they can become a health issue very quickly.  Eggs need to be kept in cold conditions to remain safe to eat, for any real amount of time.

      Not very long. If I were you I would not even leave them out. I would find the nearest fridge! Even if you only leave it out for 1 hour you still might have health problems. I would go on the safe side and not even leave them out!

        Eggs can be left out a long time at normal temperatures.. Boiled eggs unless cracked would certainly be ok overnight

        We just had a refrigerator go bad while my hard boiled eggs were in there.  Since they were refrigerated, and then room temp, do you think they are safe?

          I boil eggs every night, turn off the pot, and leave them in it. I eat them the next morning and never get sick.

          Unfortunately, I think that kiwibros answer is ridiculous!  I grew up eating colored Easter eggs that had been dyed during the afternoon before Easter and left out on the table all and then left out all night (for the Easter bunny to hide).  None of my siblings or my parents ever got sick from eating those eggs.  40 years later - my children and I decorate the eggs the afternoon before Easter and then refrigerate the eggs.  But, my husband and I get up about 30 minutes before the children and hid the eggs.  I leave them out while I make the remainder of what will be breakfast and then we enjoy!  I wouldn't worry about leaving the eggs out for several hours.  If you have a refrigerator, it doesn't hurt to refrigerate - but, I'm willing to bet that there are hundreds of thousands of people who have eaten eggs that were left out for hours and are just fine.
