Question: do you have to let hard boiled eggs cool before refrigerating?
Answer: It's best to peel the eggs right before you use them. ... Or after the eggs have cooled just put them in the refrigerator for a few hours. Cold eggs are much easier to peel. A hard cooked egg should be put in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking and will keep in the refrigerator, unpeeled, about 1 week.
