Here's how to prepare your Easter eggs for cooking

1. If possible, look for a number of the same size Eggs which you want to cook as Easter eggs.
2. Test how fresh your Easter eggs are, because they should have a long shelf life. To do this, place the raw egg in a cold bowl water. If the egg is horizontal, it is fresh and you can safely cook it as an Easter egg.
3. To prevent the shell from bursting, take the eggs approx. 1 hour before cooking from the refrigerator. In this way you avoid large temperature differences.
4. It also makes sense to "prick" the bottom of the egg in the middle. The easiest way to do this is with a special "egg pick" and ensures that the gases in the egg can escape easily.

This way, your Easter eggs will last a long time

1. Put the Easter eggs in a larger saucepan with cold water. The eggs should have enough space and not bump into each other.
