Does anyone make egg salad when the eggs are still hot?

A friend of mine told me that I'm not supposed to add the mayonnaise when the eggs are still hot- that it'd make me sick, but I do it all the time. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I always eat it right away and refrigerate the remaining egg salad.

You wouldn't want to leave it sitting around, because salmonella can develop. But if you make it and eat it or refrigerate it right away, it's fine. Mayo can be hot, or cooked, but it can't sit at unsafe tempretures (40-165 degrees) because that's the tempreture at which bacteria can grow.

You can always chill down your eggs in a bowl of ice water before you crack them. 10 minutes usually does the trick. Then your egg salad will be nice and cool.
