My girls & I colored eggs this morning, and the prep bowls worked GREAT for mixing up the colors in! Yet another use for those great little bowls. And to think when I first got them I didn't think I'd use them!
Happy Easter to all
soonerchef said:I used the prep bowls last Easter and they are awesome for dying eggs! Speaking which I better get to boiling the eggs. Also, my director sent me this on cooking the perfect hard boiled egg...
Here are the Directions on how to Boil that Perfect Egg
so you won't have Green eggs or No eggs!
To prevent your eggs from sticking to the shells when you peel them, use
eggs that are a week to 10 days old! Older eggs have a different pH then
newer eggs! Cool eggs immediately after cooking in an Ice-Bath! This will
make them easier to Peel! Green centers-Green is made from the Iron in the egg yoke combining with the sulfur in the egg whites! Heat will cause a chemical reaction and make the center of your eggs Green!
The longer you cook your eggs the more green the center will be!
An ice-bath with also help this.
But the best way to cook your eggs so they will be easy to peel and
have pure yellow centers is to:
Place eggs in a pot of COLD water, add 1 teaspoon of salt (this will help
keep your eggs from cracking). Bring to a boil and COVER with a lid and
REMOVE from heat! Let sit COVERED for 13 minutes, Drain eggs and immediately place in ice-bath till cooled. Now you will have Perfect eggs to dye this Easter!
For a Natural Egg Dye try this:
2 Tablespoons Vinegar and a quart of Water:
Orange- 4 to 5 Tablespoons of Paprika
Blue-Red Cabbage -4 cups shredded
Red- Pomegranate Juice in place of water or 4 cups red onion skins
Pink- cranberry Juice in place of water- or 4 cups shredded beats
Green- Spinach Fresh or frozen
Ocher (what ever that is???)- Onion skins- Dry outer skins
Mocha- 1 quart strongly brewed coffee in place of water
Mix ingredients for the color you want in a pot with vinegar and water if
needed and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and cool. After color is cooled,
Dye eggs. Some colors may take 5 minutes and some may take up to and hour.
That will depend on how dark you want your color to be. Remember to turn
your egg for even coloring. This also makes a great Science project!

reesefamily5 said:Here's a stupid question but how much liquid did you put in the prep bowl so it doesn't overfill when the egg is in it?
lacychef said:I just used what the directions said, 1/2 cup. One small part of the egg stuck out, but we just turned it, and it worked great I thought
Prep bowls are perfect for storing and organizing spices in your kitchen. You can use them to hold small amounts of spices and keep them within easy reach while cooking. They are also stackable, so you can save space in your pantry or spice cabinet.
Absolutely! Prep bowls are great for portioning out ingredients for meal prep. You can use them to hold chopped vegetables, marinades, or even pre-measured ingredients for a recipe. They are also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it easy to heat and clean up afterwards.
Aside from organizing and meal prep, prep bowls have many other uses in the kitchen. You can use them to serve condiments, hold small snacks like trail mix or nuts, or even as a dipping bowl for sauces. They are also great for holding ingredients while you cook or bake, making it easier to add them to your dish.
Yes, prep bowls are versatile and can be used for baking as well. You can use them to hold pre-measured ingredients or as a mixing bowl for small batches of dough or batter. They are also oven safe, so you can use them to bake individual servings of casseroles or desserts.
Prep bowls are easy to clean and store. They are dishwasher safe, but can also be hand washed with warm soapy water. To store them, you can stack them inside each other or use a designated storage container to keep them organized. Just make sure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent any moisture from getting trapped.
