There's something I haven't heard of, chocolate coated hard boiled eggs. Feed um to the kids first, just in case they suck.

Well you know, they dip bacon in chocolate so really, it's just a matter of time, lol.

LOL! They're just regular small chocolates shaped like an egg, with a hard-chocolate shell coating. They are pretty tasty!

Cadbury mini-eggs? With the candy shell? My daughter loved them.

They are similar to Cadbury mini-eggs, but they are a tad cheaper to buy. They pretty much taste the same, but they are by Hershey. Do you like them?:)

Easter egg colouring hint:
* Buy a purple cabbage
* Grate the cabbage (250 mL)
* Boil eggs with the cabbage
* Admire the deep purple eggs
* Throw out the cabbage

lol I don't want to try that with a soft-boiled egg.
10 minutes seems like a long time for a hard-boiled egg to me. 6 or 7 minutes is fine around here.

I prefer to coddle eggs rather than boil them. Coddling is putting the eggs in your pot in cold water, heat to boiling
and then turn the heat off. Let them sit for ten minutes.

Altitude makes a difference. Boiling water in Vancouver is 212 degrees. In Calgary boiling water is roughly
203 degrees. Might mean the difference of a minute or two.

Might I suggest that people consider the environmental impact of things like these egg cups before buying something to replicate the free, biologically helpful container the damn things come in already?

Assuming you boil the egg properly, the best way to de-shell would be to hit the bottom of the egg on the counter and peel from that point in a spiral-like manner around the egg.

No eggies plastic contamination required.

It's an interesting product, but after a few times of becoming competent at it, you'll be better off doing it au naturale.

The real product review.....

Eggies - product review - YouTube

OK my wife and I got suckered at Canadian tire yesterday.:-(

But thinking of the guy in front of me that bought two...makes me smile:lol:

Sheesh, this is a little beyond the pale, especially in a country full of people who can barely afford the bare necessities of life. I guess it gives women (who have run out of reasons) another one to go shopping! :lol::lol:

Well, there you have it, people. The WERD from the ultimate expert on ovoids. Might as well drop any of your myths about de-shelling eggs now.

lol.
