Egg coloring - the natural and easy way (when I can do it, you can do it too! ).

FAQ:
Are they still eatable? - Sure, after 10 min. of cooking they are all colored and ready to eat.

Red Onions usable too? - Yup! I added some red shells too. I don't know for sure but I think if you ONLY use red ones it will color them in a more reddish brown.

How much shells do I need? - Use at least 1 kg onions for 10 eggs. The more you use, the deeper the color.

Do shells and herbs change the eggs flavor?- Nope, when the egg's shell is fine (no cracks) they still taste like every normal cooked egg.

But we use tights not rags! - You sure can use tights too. They are easier to wrap around BUT since they are more elastic you have to wrap them really VERY tight around since the cooking water can create air locks and ruin the patterns.

I'm sorry for any spelling errors or mistakes - I don't really have alot of time at the moment.. am working alot. But I still hope it helps ^-^ !

Happy Easter!!!

*edit* A DD? Omigod! I just nearly fainted ! Thanks so much to ~demoncherry for suggesting and ^shelldevil for featuring it. If I had known I'd have tried to write it in a more proper english. I will totally polish it a little when I have time to do so. THANK YOU!!!!!

These seem more like camo eggs lol they look really cool though they remind me of these really pretty egg shaped stones I have actually when I saw someone else's images of these I thought they were those stones lol

I sadly can't tell... I never tried that. If you manage to wrap the stuff around them without breaking them it may will work.

Have you tried using food coloring in the water as the eggs boil?

Shiranui In reply to magic-squirrel [2011-06-02 11:55:43 +0000 UTC]

Nope, the thin about this is that I only want to use natural colors ^^ .

Das ist doch mal eine interessante Art Eier zu colorieren
Und damit bringst du mich gleich auf eine neue Idee...nΓ€mlich einen neuen Ordner in meinen Favoriten
Immerhin ist Ostern grad vorbei, ich muss meine Benachrichtigungen aufrΓ€umen, aber irgendwann kΓΆnnte das durchaus nΓΌtzlich sein.

In diesem Zuge auch herzlichen GlΓΌckwunsch zur daily Deviation
HΓ€ttest du bei einem Eier-Tutorial vermutlich auch nicht erwartet, oder?
Aber bei so einer liebevollen Aufmachung und guten Fotos definitiv verdient (behaupte ich jetzt einfach mal ).

Ich find's immer noch verrΓΌckt. Ich hab das schnell schnell zusammen gebastelt, damit es noch vor Ostern fertig wird und BΓ„M, plΓΆtzlich hatt ich da 'ne Menge Messages. Ohne die hΓ€tt ich das gar nicht so recht mitbekommen XD .

Love this tutorial. The other night, during a full moon party of all things, my friends and I blew two dozen eggs. (Hollowed) And now, a month-ish post Easter the eggs are still bleach white. Hopefully within the next few hours they will be even half as lovely as how yours turned out. Well done, and thanks for sharing a more naturalistic approach on the easter egg colouring tradition.

Shiranui In reply to greyhoundsrule [2011-04-29 09:29:53 +0000 UTC]

Um.. it just has to be cooking water. I personal never thought about the tempreture actually.

just curious, does this do anything to the rag you're using? (discolour/rip it etc.)

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Shiranui In reply to BelchimaeraStarsong [2011-04-25 18:12:57 +0000 UTC]

The rag turns brown. It's best to use cheap/old ones, you can use old tights too. ^^
