I haven't kept boiled eggs in the fridge so can't really remember. Is it just if you peel them? I'm thinking it would be something good to go in the kids lunch boxes but know my DD won't eat it if it's got that grey ring thing happening.
Why do boiled eggs go grey?

If you boiled them too long!
I drop mine into boiling water for 10 minutes only then sit them in iced water for 10 mins before peeling. No grey here!

They are over cooked.
I put my eggs into tap cold water then leave them in 8 min once the water starts to boil (time from the 1st bubbles) then cool them straight away.

Its when u don't cool them in cold water after cooking. u can cook them as long as u want as long as u sit them in cool tap water after you've finished cooking them they won't go brown.
