Tinted Hard Boiled Eggs

October 28, 2013 by Ali Leave a Comment

How to determine if your egg is hard boiled

Did you know that if you put an egg on its side and spin it like a top, it will go upright if its hard boiled and will stay horizontal if its raw?

Last week, my husband confused a hard boiled egg for a raw egg while trying to make his breakfast. This mishap inspired this post, a little trick that I will start doing to make sure there are no more confusions. There are many ways to identify which egg is which, even as simple as a sharpie marker (what I normally do). My mother in law uses a more festive way, food coloring.
