I hard-cooked a dozen last week and forgot about them inthe fridge. Not sure if they should still be good.

I don't know for sure, but I think that's fine. Think about how long an uncooked egg lasts, and yours are cooked. I would also think that if they're off, they would really smell.

They should be good for weeks. Unless they smell, they're fine.

This is good to know - I am boiling some eggs right now and wondered how long they would be okay to keep in the fridge.

I peeled them and they definitely smell funky.

I always go with a week. Anything over gets thrown away, but I've never tried cracking one that has gone longer.

Your nose knows. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how old the eggs were before they were hard-cooked too. I wouldn't eat anything that smelled less than stellar.

I have no idea and go by my nose.
