Cooking Games and Easter Eggs


It’s almost that time of year again for Easter eggs, and I am thrilled. I already have my dye cups ready to go and it’s just a matter of dropping in the colored tablets and filling the cups with water to create beautifully dyed Easter eggs.

The first step of dying Easter eggs is to boil raw eggs until they are hardboiled. Hardboiled eggs are less fragile than raw eggs and can take the handling that often accompanies the dye process. Once you have your eggs hardboiled, drop in the tablets of colors and get ready to start dying.

Use the special metal scoop to dip the eggs into the dye cups. The longer you leave the egg in the cup, the more dye will seep into the shell and the richer the final color will be. Pull out the egg and place it in a special hole in the box similar to an egg cup to dry. When dry, arrange your brightly colored Easter eggs in a special display basket and enjoy them!
