Shaped Eggs

Do you ever get tired of the same old egg-shaped hardboiled egg?  Do you ever find yourself eating a hardboiled egg, thinking, "This is so dull!  I need more excitement in my eggs" ? Well now, you can have that excitement!  


EGG SHAPES. 


There are basically two ways off approaching this: cheating or effort.  


Cheating is quite simple - you get an egg mold online or from an asian food store.  You boil an egg.  While it's still warm, you peel and rinse the egg, then place it into the egg mold.  Press the egg mold closed.  Open the egg mold.  Tear off the excess egg bits that make the shape look sad, and voilà!  Egg mold

Effort requires a bit more...effort.  Here is a step-by-step guide from bento guru Anna the Red.  It doesn't appear too difficult, but it does require a bit more work than opening an old and squishing it shut.  Add two more pencils, and you can make flower/star eggs using the same procedure.  








Nifty!  You'll never again have to settle for dull egg-shaped eggs ever again.
