How long? Does it change the concistency or taste?
Thanks you

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.
You need to use lower power on the microwave.
For many microwaves including all of the ones I’ve used, that only lowers the percentage of time the microwave emits radiation. It helps but it still heats the yolk disproportionately in my experience.
No. You will be branded a warcriminal and a witch.
Hex for your darkest enemies-
• foot of crow • eyes of six rats • ladle of swamp water • nail trimmings of accursed • two gelatinous day old fridge sunny-sides (may be up to three days in fridge {questionable})
Get the pitchforks and torches, another fridgeregger has blemished this fragile world.
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.
also how you cool the food, if you put the food in a well sealed cleaned container while over 75°C and keep covered while cooling and only open once you will consume the food will stay good for a lot longer than if you put it in a container when it’s already room temperature.
I’ve actually wondered about this. If you take a sealed container, freeze and thaw it again, shouldn’t it be sterile? So basically good for as long as the seal remains tight?
With some exceptions of course, the seal might not be tight at low temperatures, some bacteria can survive frost etc.
freezing does not kill most bacteria and molds, just halts them
Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.
Almost no open meat or meat related product lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks, the criteria isn’t “is it fuzzy yet” but can it have microbial growth that’s harmful.
Could it? Sure, but will it? Probably not. If in doubt I guess you could always do a quick plate count to get an idea of what’s going on in there.
You roll the dice enough times and win food poisoning eventually.
Because people are overly afraid of food spoiling. You’ll also be surprised that milk can usually stay good for a couple weeks after the best by date and that fresh eggs last for months in the fridge.
Now, the longer things sit in the fridge the worse the texture usually gets. Rice may be fine to eat 2 weeks later but I’d rather just toss it. It’s going to be hard from drying out in the fridge and trying to fix that means you get either mushy rice or rice that just breaks apart.
I’m a poor person, I know a lot about how food lasts beyond expiry dates.
There’s being overly afraid of going past best-by date, and there’s being stupid by eating 2 weeks old leftovers from the fridge.
After 5 days I wouldn’t eat anything opened or already cooked from the fridge that isn’t naturally preserved (like cheese or sour cream). Things go bad in the fridge too.
I’ve not tried 2 weeks old rice, and I don’t want to. You want to keep something edible more than a few days, that’s what the freezer is for.
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!
Jfc! I thought the guy asking the original question was clueless about food but you’ve just outdone him. 2 weeks? Are you human?
1 or 2 days, I’d say.
But scrambled would do better reheated. (not that they’d be great, but they would be better)
You can also freeze them. It won’t taste good but it’ll last for good long.
This also applies to dog poop

Boiled and pickled they will last much longer
Pickled eggs are too tasty to last long
I would say they stay safe for at least 3 days, i have a memory that boiled shelled eggs stay good for 5-9 days so i would imagine fried ones stay good for about that long as well. (temp of the fridge, and how fast you cool it down will affect the exact time greatly)
but i think that reheating will degrade the texture of the fried eggs greatly enough that i wouldnt do it myself
you can do anything you want friend
i doubt itd kill you if it was in the fridge a while and the calories surely arent going anywhere so screw it id eat refrigerated fried egg for convenience
this is not medical advice
Is it financial advice?
