I am a huge fan of homemade egg dye kits. The fact that you don’t have to buy a chemical and the fact that you can make your own dye kit makes it so much easier.
Egg dyeing kits are not as cheap as the name would suggest. As a rule of thumb, the more you spend to get the dye kit and the more complicated the process is the more expensive the dye can be. You can make a really nice one for under $10.00, but the more complicated the process is the more it can be over $100.00. The big trouble with egg dyeing kits is that it can take about a week to complete.
But its worth it. The process is simple, and the end product looks stunning. The cost is also affordable. It is one of those things that if you do it right, it will be worth every penny.
When it comes to dyeing eggs, the problem with egg dyeing kits is that they are a little bit messy. If you want to do it right you have to make sure that you are done with your eggs when they come out of the dye. The problem with this is that the dye can bleed into your eggs. If you want to get rid of this problem you need to give your eggs a good soak in water before you start the dye process.
The way I see it, the best way to get perfectly good eggs is to use a high quality dye that is safe for use on raw eggs. If you are going to do this for an entire batch, it is a good idea to use the same dye for all of your eggs. If you get a bad dye that comes in a container with a lid, you can use the lid to help keep the dye in the container and out of the eggs.
The dye is a thick, sticky, colorant that is applied over the eggshells and is meant to dissolve. It will take you a while, so you want to make sure that you apply it in the proper order. It is quite a bit easier to do than it is to remove the egg from the shell. The trick I use is to use the eggs as they are and then rinse them in a very hot water bath for about fifteen minutes. This will help the dye to dissolve.
I use this in the kitchen in both a dry and wet setting. I use both the dry and wet. I use the wet in the bathroom so my sink is always nice and clean. I use the dry to rinse out pots and pans, and the dry in the kitchen because I can use it on the stovetop, too.
Yes, the DIY method above is also a very effective way to remove the egg from the shell.
Egg dyeing is one of those things that will really add some color to your house. If you are like most people, you’ll probably only use this a couple of times, but the idea of using egg dyeing is so fascinating that it really is worth it. I can guarantee that once you use this method, you’ll be hooked. When I first tried it, I was amazed at how quickly it worked. It was like a miracle.
Egg dyeing is best done with a warm wet cloth or a paper towel. Just dab the egg dye onto the cloth and let it sit for a couple of minutes, then wipe it away. You could also use a coffee filter and rub it gently into the egg shell.
