Molding a Boiled Egg into Fun Shapes!

By Alex in Food & Drink on Aug 1, 2007 at 4:42 am

Lunch in a Box blog has a post about making your very own pig-shaped boiled egg, using a nifty Japanese (what else?) contraption improvised into an egg mold:

I figured they’d work just fine as ice cream sandwich molds, cookie cutters, and onigiri molds, but I was most curious about how they’d do as hard-boiled egg shapers. You may have seen these crazy gadgets before (photo below): you hard-boil an egg, peel it while it’s hot, pop it into a plastic mold while it’s still hot and pliant, and click the lid shut. Dump the whole thing into cold water for 10 minutes, and you’ve got an egg that looks like a rabbit head or a star.

Link – Thanks Shihui!

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Even though I know it’s just a boiled egg…I still think that these look disgusting and will taste bad (even though I like boiled eggs!)

Boo Cuimhne, you’re no fun. I think it looks really funny – it would be cool in a little kid’s lunch box… or even in my lunch box!

Hi

I’m interested in advertising on your site and was wondering who the right person to speak with would be. Our company, 3i Interactive, works with 1000 different news, newspaper and reference sites across the nation like Foxnews, Washington Times, Chicago Times, SFGate, placing advertising for Netflix, American Express, AT&T among other advertisers. Specifically, I’m looking for popunder inventory for Netflix and Adblade. Adblade is a high quality site with many health-related sites. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks again,
