Color and cook Easter eggs

Blowing out Easter eggs - this is how it works

1. For hygienic reasons, you should wash the Easter eggs with hot before blowing them out water and wash off some detergent.
2. Then use an egg piercer to pierce the top and bottom of the Eggs one hole each. Use a blunt darning needle to carefully enlarge the holes to approx. 5 mm.
3. Hold the egg to your lips and blow firmly into one of the two holes. This causes the egg white and the yolk to come out of the other hole. Catch both in a bowl, because you can later cook a delicious scrambled egg from them.
