    Hi Joanne,

    You can only leave them out for about 2 hours safely. If you're using them for a table decorations, put them out at the last minute then be aware of the time so you can put any back that haven't been eaten. Wishing you the best.

    Since hard-boiled eggs are cooked, you may believe they are safer than raw eggs. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, hard-boiled eggs are actually more susceptible to bacterial contamination because the cooking process damages a protective layer on the shell of the egg. Keep your hard-boiled eggs safe by refrigerating them immediately after cooking them, and eat them within one week.you should discard any perishable foods, including hard-boiled eggs, that have been left at room temperature for longer than two hours. The two-hour guideline applies to eggs you have just cooked as well as chilled hard-boiled eggs taken out of your refrigerator. During the hot summer months, or any time the temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, throw out any perishable food left outside of refrigeration for more than one hour, FoodSafety.gov recommends.

    Drop your peeled hard boiled eggs in pickle juice. You can put them in the jar with the pickles as long as they are covered with the juice. They will keep for a long time and are delicious.
