I tried a couple of new Easter egg tricks this year, courtesy of Pinterest.
The first was an Alton Brown recipe that suggested baking eggs directly on the oven racks for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. This worked very well, at least for for the first 25 minutes—after that, the eggs began to explode. I can’t decide if the situation is helped or hindered by the fact the oven hasn’t been cleaned since roughly 2007. Either way, I have another project ahead of me this weekend.
The second trick was using Kool-Aid to dye eggs. It was certainly easier than mixing vinegar and food coloring, though I will say I didn’t have quite the spectrum for which I was hoping. We stirred up green and blue the old fashioned way to expand the palette, and then the girls set to work.
