What’s the waiting time for “stale”?
3 weeks tops, 2 weeks best.
Here’s what I do....and not suggesting this is for everybody.
I purchase a dozen eggs and refrigerate. There are times over the next two to three weeks that I need eggs, for a recipe, breakfast...etc.
After that time period elapses I will use the eggs I have not used to make deviled eggs.
This way I have an egg or two or three when I need and when they will soon go bad, make a batch of deviled eggs.
The stale eggs, first of all, peel much easier than fresh eggs. Second, who has two or three eggs laying around? I live by myself so my system has be with eggs that are fresh when needed then ready to devil for friend or myself.
My recipe for deviled eggs you ask?
Boil stale eggs for about 20-25 minutes.
Peel, split in half, scoop out yolk and put in small bowl. Put white egg halves in container.
Add about a half a cup of mayo for under a dozen eggs. about half of the mayo amount add with spicy mustard. Shake some seasoned salt on top.
Using a fork, break up the yolk and mix with the mayo and mustard. Then scoop into the waiting egg white and eat them up within the week.
This method is not for everybody but my deviled eggs are almost always a hit and it’s really a simple recipe.
