Deviled eggs over time
317 of the 379 recipes carry a publication date, from 2004 to 2026. Below: how many pages each year, whether the typical batch changed between the oldest and newest, and the oldest and newest pages themselves.
A date here is the one the page gives for itself: when it was published, or last updated. Sites often refresh an old recipe and its date together, so read these as when the pages went up, not when the recipes were created.
Recipes per year
Dated pages by the year they give. The first bar gathers the 1 pages from before 2007. Shading marks the periods compared below.
How the typical batch changed
No ingredient shows a clear change between deviled egg pages dated before 2018 and those dated 2024 or later. The medians move a little from period to period, but by no more than chance would with this many recipes.
| Per egg | Before 201879 recipes | 2018 to 202182 recipes | 2022 to 202362 recipes | 2024 and later94 recipes |

| Meat or fishNo clear change | 0 g | 0 g | 0 g | 0 g |
| SaltNo clear change | 0 g | 0 g | 0 g | 0 g |
Each cell is the median in that period: grams of the ingredient per egg. Higher and lower compare the newest period with the oldest, only where the change is clear (see how below). Periods are cut at year boundaries so each holds about the same number of recipes.

How the dates are read
Each date is the publication date in the recipe page's own structured data. 41 of the 379 recipes have none, or one without a year (such as “December 3”), and are left out.
21 more carry a date their site gave to many pages at once, which marks a site move or redesign rather than a publication: 2018-01-01 on tasteofhome.com (222 pages across Recipe Lab, 10 of them here), 2006-10-23 on marmiton.org (74 pages across Recipe Lab, 3 of them here) and 2016-11-16 on foodnetwork.com (19 pages across Recipe Lab, 1 of them here), and 7 more like it. They are left out too.
A change counts as clear when the newest period's median differs from the oldest period's by at least a tenth and a rank test puts the gap at 2.5 standard errors or more. For the share of recipes using an ingredient, the bar is 3 standard errors and 8 percentage points. Every ingredient is tested, so a lower bar would flag chance differences on most pages.
2026 is still in progress, so its bar is short for a reason that has nothing to do with cooking.
