Related: About this forumHard Boiled Eggs - Store in shell or out?
The internet says either way.
My father was an advocate of peel them right away and refrigerate.
I'm a proponent of storing them in nature's perfect wrapper.
Any ideas on which is better?

(2,016 posts)Like you said, "nature's perfect wrapper". Great for grab-n-go food. I like to bring a couple when I go hiking, and the shells are biodegradable. I wouldn't want to put a peeled egg in my pocket.
However, if the shells crack during boiling, I immediately eat 'em. I don't want the sulfur smell in my fridge.

(544 posts)Heck, the thing sits in the shell for a LONG time unrefrigerated in a coop under the chicken's ass. No reason it cant be stored longer in the shell refrigerated and even longer still if COOKED and left in the shell.
Without some sort of logic or evidence exhibiting otherwise, I'd have to default to that line of reasoning.

up with the raw eggs.

The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. The Big-Endians gained favour in Blefuscu."
This egg shell/no egg shell is an eggcellent way to start a feud.
