Keep deviled eggs refrigerated in an air-tight container at all times and serve them within two days. When you're trying to impress your guests, you don't want to serve stinky, dried out deviled eggs.

Deviled eggs can stay out at room temperature for 2 hours, and that period applies to preparation, serving, and leftovers. After 2 hours, perishable foods—like deviled eggs—enter what the USDA calls the "Danger Zone," in which conditions are more favorable for harmful bacteria to form.

Putting them in mini muffin tins is another solution. I don't have a mini muffin tin. Another solution is slicing the hard-boiled eggs in half as they stand up instead of as they lay down. Then you make the deviled eggs as usual and transport them in an egg carton.

If you don't want to be piping as guests walk in your door, you can pipe ahead. Deviled eggs will stay in good shape—that is, the yolk mixture is unlikely to turn watery — for up to six hours if stored in the fridge. Pipe, garnish, cover, and chill to check the eggs off your list.

Luckily there is a handy trick to achieving the perfect filling consistency, aside from your egg cooking technique. And it's easy to do. To help absorb excess liquid, fold some potato flakes into the yolk mixture. A few spoonfuls of the dried flakes add starch and richness to the yolk mixture.

If you won't be eating them right away, place into a container lined with folded paper towels and refrigerate. It's common for deviled eggs to "sweat" in the fridge, which can make them kinda soggy in a day or two. The paper towels will absorb the extra moisture and keep them fresh much longer!

You can't really freeze a whole boiled egg, as the whites will become rubbery. However, you can freeze cooked egg yolks to use for garnishes, extra-yolky egg sandwiches or devilled egg filling for up to 3 months.

As long as you store them in the fridge, you can eat refrigerated deviled eggs (or any cooked egg dish) within four days, according to the USDA, but you should aim to eat them within two days for optimal freshness. Once you take them out of the fridge, you should serve them within two hours.

How do you keep eggs from running on the pan? ›

Place the egg near the side wall where the pan is hotter and keeps the egg from spreading in all directions. You can also use a ring cookie cutter as McDonalds does or Waffle house to keep the egg from spreading as well by dumping the egg in the cutter.

The reason you add butter is to lubricate the pan, so your eggs don't stick. If the butter doesn't get between the eggs and the pan, it won't be able to do its job properly.
