Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Plastic Egg Mold Heart and Star

Customer Review: Easy to Use, With a Few Tips and Tricks
Summary: 5 Stars

Our kids love eating eggs in all forms, but love eating car shaped eggs the best. The concept is simple - you put a hot peeled hard boiled egg in the center of the mold, close the lid, and snap shut. You then toss the whole thing into a bowl of cold water, wait about 10 minutes, and then open it up to find a perfectly molded shaped egg. For those with the questions regarding egg size - it varies, depending on what mold you use. It can be anywhere between M-L, from our experience. Small eggs don't fill it out all the way, and XL can be used, although you'll end up cutting away a lot more of the squished egg on the side.

We have several tips on making the perfect egg:
1. Open up the mold and wet the inside surface just in case your egg decides to stick (though it shouldn't).
2. Put in a hot egg. The shape of the mold will guide you as to how to place the egg. Here the top of the heart is wider in the bottom, so the fat end of the egg goes that way.
3. If you have egg white bits that got squished out at the sides, you can clean the ragged bits up with a sharp knife. If yolk gets squished out - chop up the egg for egg salad.
4. If you want colored eggs that are also molded, you need to add the coloring or dye before molding them. Presuming you are using a liquid type of coloring method (such as dunking the eggs in water with dye in it), if you put the eggs in a water bath after molding, the moisture will cause the eggs to swell back up, losing the molding detail.So, once you have peeled your eggs, instead of dunking them in plain hot water, put them in colored hot water until they have achieved the color you want. Then mold them as per above. The seam will show white, but the form and overall color are there.

Description of Plastic Egg Mold Heart and Star

Shape hard boiled eggs into hearts or stars with this easy to use egg mold. Place a just cooked and shelled hard boiled egg into the mold bottom, put the top over the egg, slowly press down and secure. Put egg and mold into cold water. After 10 minutes, remove and slowly open the mold, revealing an egg in a heart or a star shape. For additional interest with the egg still in the bottom half, take a knife and slice the egg in two.
