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.
Get a good cast iron pan. Greasy is good.
Hell yes! I love my cast iron. Frying eggs in it is a breeze and cleanup is so fucking easy.
wait how do u clean it up?
(dumb college student here whos doesnt understand castirons)
Run it under hot water and use a scrub brush to wipe away the food. Never use soap with a cast iron as it will absorb the flavours of whatever you put in it over time. You can even but then pre seasoned.
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.
Don't forget poached. 3 minutes and you're eating.
Where do you plan to reheat the fried egg tho? The microwave?
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.
While I somewhat agree with you: this is neither the time nor the place to preach your vegan ways.
L m f a o
I like you and your polite nuisance banishment technique. Ty for being you
Because eggs are tasty and vegans are too weak from lack of protein and b12 to stop me.
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.
This post isn't about sharing vegan recipes. Stay on the topic.
Let's keep this about RAMPART
First time on the fucking internet?
Imagine trying to be a fascist on a social media site lmao
But there are tankies all over Lemmy
There’s tankies all over the world what’s your point
Imagine being as fucking clueless as this guy
I I can’t do it man. Just too dumb, you’re obviously the more intellectually dominant person
Don't bother to respond if you don't have anything relevant to add to the discussion.
The relevance is merely that you’d be better off not frying eggs and having to consider refrigerating them. Thanks for your relevant response!
No, you're just an insufferable prick.
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
It's called "brigading."
Maybe. Won’t ever know for sure unless you try talking to people like they have a different perspective from you rather than a wrong perspective 🤷🏻♂️
Or somehow own all instances and spy on logs.
Either is possible, skies the limit
Looks like you responded without adding anything relevant to the discussion. You should follow your own advice.
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
This begs the question: tldr. Im going to fridge an egg and eat it raw but cold.
This begs the question: what was the question?
Dunno but I got salmonella ¹⁰/₁₀ A+++
Stay away from uncooked shellfish too if you’re on the east coast of the US if this is gonna be a habit 😂
Who had actual not conspiracy theory flesh eating bacteria for their 2023 bingo card
We ain't here to spread veganism, sorry bud.
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 veganism.
Agreed. I'm eating a lot more vegetarian meals recently but mainly because it's cheaper and I enjoy cooking vegetarian, particularly Indian dishes. However, eggs are a great source of protein and there are so many options available to source them humanely without having to eat an alternative. I've connected with a local farmer who has hens kept in really good conditions and I get eggs from him. I admire the principles of vegetarianism and veganism but can't fucking stand it when vegans get on their high horse and preach unsolicited.
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.
You need to use lower power on the microwave.
For many microwaves including all of the ones I've used, that only lowers the percentage of time the microwave emits radiation. It helps but it still heats the yolk disproportionately in my experience.
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
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.
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.
A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.
Cooked eggs are good for a week in the fridge.
My searching is saying 3-4 days for scrambled eggs, a week for hard boiled eggs.
Oh yeah, that sounds safer
Also, I would think fried eggs, at least if they have a soft yolk, are likely to last even less time than scrambled eggs, which cook the yolk more thoroughly.
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.
Right, salmonella isn't the thing to worry about cooked food. But other things are if you keep leftovers for a week or two.
Sure. In my experience a week is absolutely no problem and usually cooked food goes bad in a detectable way (mold or tasting off). Personally I never had a problem but I guess it also depends on the fridge temperature and whether it really was cooked/fried all the way through.
also how you cool the food, if you put the food in a well sealed cleaned container while over 75°C and keep covered while cooling and only open once you will consume the food will stay good for a lot longer than if you put it in a container when it's already room temperature.
I've actually wondered about this. If you take a sealed container, freeze and thaw it again, shouldn't it be sterile? So basically good for as long as the seal remains tight?
With some exceptions of course, the seal might not be tight at low temperatures, some bacteria can survive frost etc.
freezing does not kill most bacteria and molds, just halts them
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.
Almost no open meat or meat related product lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks, the criteria isn't "is it fuzzy yet" but can it have microbial growth that's harmful.
Could it? Sure, but will it? Probably not. If in doubt I guess you could always do a quick plate count to get an idea of what's going on in there.
You roll the dice enough times and win food poisoning eventually.
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.
I'm a poor person, I know a lot about how food lasts beyond expiry dates.
There's being overly afraid of going past best-by date, and there's being stupid by eating 2 weeks old leftovers from the fridge.
After 5 days I wouldn't eat anything opened or already cooked from the fridge that isn't naturally preserved (like cheese or sour cream). Things go bad in the fridge too.
I've not tried 2 weeks old rice, and I don't want to. You want to keep something edible more than a few days, that's what the freezer is for.
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!
Jfc! I thought the guy asking the original question was clueless about food but you've just outdone him. 2 weeks? Are you human?
You can also freeze them. It won't taste good but it'll last for good long.
This also applies to dog poop
1 or 2 days, I'd say.
But scrambled would do better reheated. (not that they'd be great, but they would be better)

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
Is it financial advice?
Boiled and pickled they will last much longer
Pickled eggs are too tasty to last long
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

Scrape, rinse and dishbrush, dry.
This is the correct answer, thanks.

You like the taste of rubber?
