How long? Does it change the concistency or taste?

Thanks you

    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.

      This begs the question: why eat eggs at all? There are alternatives which don’t affect or harm chickens and contribute to a massive amount of torture or waste. Take a look at Just Egg. Lately cheaper than a dozen and much healthier too.

          Just providing a different perspective. Vegan for 7+ years, happy to submit to a protein and b12 test, not deficient in either. Thanks for the response!

            Hi I’m not vegan but I’m always looking for healthy recipes! Do you have any favorite websites to find inspiration? I recently figured out I could press, marinate, then dehydrate tofu and it gives it some texture. It’s now like 70% as good as throwing chicken or something into my rice, which is often good enough for me.

            Any ideas or thoughts like that? I don’t even know what most vegan’s general diet entails. I’ve eaten at a local vegan place but the food, while delicious, was not exactly healthy.

              I often use a handful of cookbooks I bought from some local restaurants which prefer to focus on vegetable cuisine over all of the fake meats/processed food, so those lean healthy. Oftentimes vegan restaurants lean on fake meats and junk food because it’s easier to appease more people that way.

              A couple good recipe blogs out there that I find myself going back to occasionally:

              Agree that this is now off topic for the post, so for more feel free to visit the handful of vegan communities that are out there for more information.

              The relevance is merely that you’d be better off not frying eggs and having to consider refrigerating them. Thanks for your relevant response!

                  Notice how the favor flipped here in terms of votes? Could be a fluke, could be that you decided to bake the small fire instead of using a shot glass of water

              Looks like you responded without adding anything relevant to the discussion. You should follow your own advice.

        While I somewhat agree with you: this is neither the time nor the place to preach your vegan ways.

        This begs the question: why did you bother to post this? Did you really think that walking into the room, announcing yourself as vegan and providing a solution that’s entirely unhelpful to the actual problem OP is having would go well?

        Surely not.

        Surely you would recognize, as a human being with empathy skills, that when an established non vegan is asking for help on the storage of meals that they aren’t asking for a fucking philosophy lesson or to be convinced that the problem was that they started to do the thing they were doing at all. That’s insulting.

        You are a kind person for caring about all life, regardless of cognition, ability or inability to reproduce etc, but you are a damned FOOL. Best of luck to you, I hope this was clear and not too harsh

    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.

      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})

    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.

      Jfc! I thought the guy asking the original question was clueless about food but you’ve just outdone him. 2 weeks? Are you human?

      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!

    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.

    1 or 2 days, I’d say.

    But scrambled would do better reheated. (not that they’d be great, but they would be better)

    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
