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.

I agree with day or two tops, but the microwave/pan thing I see completely the opposite way. Microwave is ok to heat up eggs, while refrying in a pan you are likely to dry them up and it just can’t be the same the 2nd time.

Egg yolk cooks disproportionately quickly in the microwave. For runnier yolks, other methods will be closer to desired results.

If you have an air fryer, or a toaster oven with an “air fry” setting, that might be worth a try for reheating.

No. You will be branded a warcriminal and a witch.

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})

Get the pitchforks and torches, another fridgeregger has blemished this fragile world.

no. they will combust after about 2 hours
Lemjukes@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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.
WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.
bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Cooked eggs are good for a week in the fridge.
Ropianos@feddit.de 1 year ago
I mean, there shouldn’t be any salmonella on fried eggs in the first place. And once dead it won’t come back just from being stored in the fridge.

Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because people are overly afraid of food spoiling. You’ll also be surprised that milk can usually stay good for a couple weeks after the best by date and that fresh eggs last for months in the fridge.
Now, the longer things sit in the fridge the worse the texture usually gets. Rice may be fine to eat 2 weeks later but I’d rather just toss it. It’s going to be hard from drying out in the fridge and trying to fix that means you get either mushy rice or rice that just breaks apart.

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!
ingy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Jfc! I thought the guy asking the question clueless about food but you’ve just outdone him. 2 weeks? Are you human?
Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
BeanCounter@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
You can also freeze them. It won’t taste good but it’ll last for good long.
stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This also applies to dog poop
Terevos@lemm.ee 1 year ago
1 or 2 days, I’d say.
But scrambled would do better reheated.
KingGeedorah@kbin.social 1 year ago
Boiled and pickled they will last much longer
DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Pickled eggs are too tasty to last long
skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 1 year ago
They last longer in the fridge, but if you need to bother with putting them in the fridge depends on where you live.
A freshly laid egg will be good for weeks (“at least three to four” is generally accepted within the EU, but your country may differ) when left outside the fridge; a chick needs some time to grow, after all, so eggs have evolved over millions of years to keep bacteria out. You can’t necessarily assume the eggs you buy in the store were laid on the same day, but you can often find out the date they were laid (often stamped on the eggs or written on the packaging). Personally, I don’t really notice if an egg has been on my shelf for a day or a week, but I’m sure people with a more refined palette will notice a change over time.
In the fridge, they’re good for even longer, though I’m sure the taste will be affected. If you do keep them in the fridge, keep them at a constant temperature, or the shell may get weakened and by the constant warming/cooling. I wouldn’t keep them in the fridge door if you’re planning to keep them for more than a few weeks.
However, if you live in a place where eggs are chemically washed (like is common in the USA), you should always keep your eggs in the fridge. American and European chicken farms deal with infections differently, and the American method will wash off the protective wax on the outside of the egg, severely limiting their shelf life.
If you’re not sure if an egg is still good, you can check if they float in water or not. Lay them down on the bottom of a pan filled with water and see if they come up to the surface. The more the bottom of the egg comes up, the worse the egg has gotten. Freshly laid eggs will stay down at the bottom of the pan.

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
sock@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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
bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 1 year ago
Is it financial advice?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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?
treeofnik@discuss.online 1 year ago
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.
NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 1 year ago
Because eggs are tasty and vegans are too weak from lack of protein and b12 to stop me.
FleetingTit@feddit.de 1 year ago
While I somewhat agree with you: this is neither the time nor the place to preach your vegan ways.
stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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 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
Asudox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We ain’t here to spread veganism, sorry bud.
Rand0mA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do you know hens lay like 16-24 eggs a month regardless of if they are getting any cock, and if they aren’t getting any, the eggs won’t be fertilised, but they still lay. Hens do this from like 6 months old… it’s wasteful not to eat the eggs.
You should go outside and actually touch grass sometime. If all you know is supermarkets food but you want to preach about where it comes from, at least have the butter to know wtf you are talking about.
Also vegans spouting the shit they do is probably the main reason people don’t try it.
Jeraxus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
To wash the pan once for several meals. I hate oily textures (except in mouth) so the dishwashing take time.
Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Get a good cast iron pan. Greasy is good.
alehc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Where do you plan to reheat the fried egg tho? The microwave?
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Okay, if the goal is to eat eggs that are cooked well with the least amount of greasy dishes, you might consider hard or soft boiled eggs. You can cook several at a time, they last quite a while if you don’t crack them, and you can even cook them in an air fryer if you don’t want dirty dishes at all. If you make them just before eating, you can have a nice hot soft boiled egg in a pretty short time.
I’d personal prefer that over microwaved eggs every time.
TheCannonball@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Get a ceramic pan. Barely any clean up.
