Cooking Games – Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are a tradition at Easter. To make the most colorful eggs found anywhere, you’ll need a dozen eggs and a set of egg dyes.

Hard-boil the Eggs
Your first step is to hard-boil the dozen eggs. This ensures the eggs are safe to be outside of the refrigerator for a few minutes while you dye them and that they can be more easily eaten when Easter is over.

To hard-boil the eggs, place the raw eggs into a sauce pan with cold water. Bring the eggs to a roiling boil and then reduce heat for ten minutes. After ten minutes, remove the eggs from the water and rinse in cold water. Now your eggs are ready to color.

Coloring the Easter Eggs
To color the eggs, you need to follow the instructions on the dye. Likely you’ll need to drop the tablets into vinegar until they dissolve. Then drop the hardboiled egg into the colored dye and wait. The longer you wait the deeper the color will be.

Use the metal scooper that likely accompanies the eggs to remove it from the dye and place it in a special holder (likely the box the dye came in) to allow the egg to dry completely. Hide it, eat it, enjoy!
