With Easter just around the corner, hardboiled eggs will be much easier to come by for many people. I love hardboiled eggs, but sometimes am just so annoyed by peeling them and getting egg shell everywhere. B found a great article the other day (not sure how he stumbled across it) and since he shared it with me, I decided to give it a try. I had just boiled eggs the other night for salads, so this was perfect timing. Well, technically, I steamed them, but that's neither here nor there. Anyhow, I can now say I have successfully blown a hardboiled egg out of its shell! It is worth learning, seriously. B tried it this morning and was equally impressed.

Neat! I'll have to try this except, I don't want to eat an egg that someone else blew. Germs. Yuk. Even if its washed.

And I'm puzzled, it says to blow the egg and then wash it off but you can't just wash it if it fell on the floor from not holding the egg right while you blow? Is that because it might break open? Either way, yuk!! Germs!!!

Microbiology ruined my life :(

LOL! I totally understand. I wouldn't want an egg blown by someone else, either. I also wouldn't eat one that fell on the floor.

I think the reason they suggest you wash it is to get whatever tiny bits of shell that might remain off. I only wound up with some right around the ends where I peeled away the shell.

I don't do boiled eggs very often, and with my rubbish memory I'll probably forget next time I do an egg. But if I do remember I'll let you know how I got on (or if the egg ended up on the floor. lol)

I was worried my egg was going to fall on the floor, but if your hand is on the other end of the egg, it won't (well, unless you're spastic like I've been known to be from time to time).

I may have to show that to Penny... Although I know I'm not co-ordinated enough to try it and would get all confused. And end up covered in egg.
