This begs the question: should you?
A freshly-fried egg will be of vastly superior quality over one that is cold or must be reheated. Raw, uncracked eggs will last reasonably longer in the refrigerator, so it's preferable to keep them in that state instead.
I have a feeling that you've truly got a different problem that needs to be solved, rather than the one that you've asked here. Why are you feeling the need to pre-fry eggs?
To wash the pan once for several meals. I hate oily textures (except in mouth) so the dishwashing take time.
Get a good cast iron pan. Greasy is good.
This is the correct answer, thanks.
Hell yes! I love my cast iron. Frying eggs in it is a breeze and cleanup is so fucking easy.
Okay, if the goal is to eat eggs that are cooked well with the least amount of greasy dishes, you might consider hard or soft boiled eggs. You can cook several at a time, they last quite a while if you don't crack them, and you can even cook them in an air fryer if you don't want dirty dishes at all. If you make them just before eating, you can have a nice hot soft boiled egg in a pretty short time.
I'd personal prefer that over microwaved eggs every time.
Get a ceramic pan. Barely any clean up.
Upvoted for entertainment value.
A day or two at most.
Shouldn't really affect the taste/consistency but it depends on how you heat it up. If you microwave it, it will definitely change.
If you just quickly re-fry it in a pan, you should be good.
I agree with day or two tops, but the microwave/pan thing I see completely the opposite way. Microwave is ok to heat up eggs, while refrying in a pan you are likely to dry them up and it just can't be the same the 2nd time.
If you have an air fryer, or a toaster oven with an “air fry” setting, that might be worth a try for reheating.
Egg yolk cooks disproportionately quickly in the microwave. For runnier yolks, other methods will be closer to desired results.
no. they will combust after about 2 hours
If you have ever pick up a breakfast bun at a 711 you’ve already tested what it’s like to eat a day old refrigerated scrambled egg.
Probably about as long as any other leftovers, maybe a week or two tops. The texture will probably change more based on how you reheat them. And they will certainly be different from fresh cooked. If your thinking long term storage as an ingredient in something else I've had great luck making a big batch of scrambled eggs with a bunch of veg and cheese and meal prepping a bunch of frozen breakfast burritos.
A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.
Cooked eggs are good for a week in the fridge.
My searching is saying 3-4 days for scrambled eggs, a week for hard boiled eggs.
Oh yeah, that sounds safer
Also, I would think fried eggs, at least if they have a soft yolk, are likely to last even less time than scrambled eggs, which cook the yolk more thoroughly.
I mean, there shouldn't be any salmonella on fried eggs in the first place. And once dead it won't come back just from being stored in the fridge.
Right, salmonella isn't the thing to worry about cooked food. But other things are if you keep leftovers for a week or two.
Sure. In my experience a week is absolutely no problem and usually cooked food goes bad in a detectable way (mold or tasting off). Personally I never had a problem but I guess it also depends on the fridge temperature and whether it really was cooked/fried all the way through.
Two weeks? I would throw away the whole fridge if I left any food in there for two weeks.
Most foods are okay for around two days without any problems. Some foods may last up to 5 days if they are salty or contain some vinegar, but it requires throughout heating to be save at this point.
I would never eat anything older than that which has been exposed to air. It's a biohazard!
1 or 2 days, I'd say.
But scrambled would do better reheated. (not that they'd be great, but they would be better)
