Your cart is empty.Product Description
Empty your eggs if you want to keep them for a long time and bring them out to display year-after-year. You can also strengthen your decorated eggs by covering them with layers of paper towels or similar paper stuck on with white glue or homemade flour-and-water paste.
- MAKE A HOLE with a pin or needle in the fat end of a raw egg.
- WIGGLE THE NEEDLE around or use a nail to create a slightly larger hole. (Should be about ¼ ” across, or about the size of a pencil eraser.)
- MAKE A SECOND HOLE in the opposite end of the egg. (This hole can be much smaller.)
- BREAK THE YOLK by inserting the needle into the egg. (this makes it easier to remove the egg).
- USE A BABY’S NOSE ASPIRATOR, or simply your mouth, to blow into the small hole to remove the egg yolk and egg white into a large bowl.
- RUN WATER INTO THE EGGSHELL, after the yolk has been removed, shake it to rinse the insides well, and pour it out.
Hard Cooked vs. Emptied Eggs
Hard-cooked eggs are best when you want a sturdy egg for hiding and when you want to eat them when you’re done. They are also easier for younger children to handle.
- PLACE eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in single layer
- ADD cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch
- HEAT over high heat just to boiling
- REMOVE from burner
- COVER pan
- LET EGGS STAND in hot water about 15 minutes for large eggs (12 minutes for medium eggs; 18 minutes for extra large)
- DRAIN immediately and serve warm. OR, cool complete-ly under cold running water or in bowl of ice water
- REFRIGERATE

Not worth the money, very cheap. Could easily get a better product at the dollar store.

I prefer the regular egg kits. It didn't have as much marble effect like the photo on the box. I didn't care for everything to be greasy since we needed to use vegetable oil. My bowls are greasy. The eggs are greasy.

Not sure why I keep trying different types of egg painting. I'm just sticking with the old reliable from now on

There was nothing wrong with the product. I've used this brand for years. However I ordered it from Amazon because I was very busy and could not get to the store. I paid $11.00 for the kit and it had a big lots sticker on it for $3.00. That's a hell of markup.
