Question:
How do I get an egg ready for coloring?
Easter Worthy Egg
If you're thinking about coloring eggs for Easter this year, it's always best to start off by prepping the egg right. Some folks think that hard boiling an egg is the best way to get it ready for coloring, but this actually gives the egg a rubbery texture and may leave a green cast to the outer layer of the yolk. Instead, try this foolproof method to get an egg ready for coloring:
• Prick the larger end of the egg with a needle to let air escape out of the shell.
• Next, place the egg in a pot and cover with at least an inch of water.
• Bring the pot to a boil and then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
• Cover the pot and let the egg sit for 15 minutes.
• Finally, place your egg in ice water to cool for four minutes.
Your egg is now ready for coloring!
