I like these deviled eggs best on the day they're made. If you're making them for a party or gathering, I don't recommend assembling them more than a few hours in advance. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to eat, and wait to add the garnishes until right before serving.

Once prepared, deviled eggs should be stored in the refrigerator immediately. They should be consumed within three to four days, which is generally considered the maximum amount of time deviled eggs remain safe to eat when stored in the refrigerator.

STRAIGHT-UP DEVILED EGGS

No matter when or how you serve them, let them come to a cool room temperature before serving, otherwise the filling will be a little hard instead of creamy.

While it is possible to pack raw eggs for travel, it's generally not recommended due to the risk of contamination. If you do decide to pack raw eggs, make sure to place them in a sealed container and keep them in the cooler with ice packs or frozen water bottles. Cook them thoroughly before consuming.

The FDA recommends consuming hard-boiled eggs within a week, and two weeks is well past that deadline. Since spoiled hard-boiled eggs can make you sick, it's best to be safe and toss out any leftover hard-boiled eggs that have been in the fridge for more than one week.

If you won't be eating them right away, place into a container lined with folded paper towels and refrigerate. It's common for deviled eggs to "sweat" in the fridge, which can make them kinda soggy in a day or two. The paper towels will absorb the extra moisture and keep them fresh much longer!

Make sure eggs are refrigerated within two hours after cooking, and don't leave refrigerated cooked eggs out at room temperature for more than two hours.

If you add too much mayo, it may overpower the filling and make it runny. For a dozen eggs, ½ cup mayonnaise will make a smooth, creamy filling that can sit up high when spooned into the egg. One way to ensure you get a good yolk-to-mayo ratio is to cook a few extra eggs.

Be sure to transfer them to an ice bath right away to stop the cooking process and cool them down quickly, which makes the eggs easier to peel and ensures that the yolk isn't too warm when mixed with the mayonnaise and mustard (which risks creating a runny filling).

How can we avoid breaking eggs during packing and transporting? ›

“All designed in such a way that they give the egg in question a conformable and protective position.” Egg trays should be designed to fit safely and securely into the truck. A protector placed over the top can help minimize bouncing, especially when eggs are transported on bumpy or uneven roads.

1) Use a clean, well-insulated cooler and add plenty of ice, ice packs, frozen bottled water, or frozen food. Cooked eggs and other perishable foods need to be kept below 40°F. Bacteria can quickly grow at the temperature danger zone between 40°F and 140°F.

Packing eggs with clean and odourless rice husks, wheat chaff or chopped straw in a firm walled basket or crate greatly decreases the risk of shell damage. An example of this can be seen in the forefront of Photograph 16. It is also be possible to pack eggs in a simple basket as seen in Photograph17.
