Procedure for dyeing eggs
• Place the eggs very carefully in the saucepan and fill with enough water to cover them completely (there should be 3 to 4 cm of water above the eggs).
• Cook the eggs over medium heat for 45 to 60 minutes. Caution: do not boil because the eggs could crack.
• During this time, prepare the dye baths.
• When your eggs are fully cooked, submerge them for 5 to 10 minutes in the dye bath of your choice. To avoid breaking them, place them on the bottom of the pan with a ladle.
• Remove the eggs from the dye and rinse to remove any deposits and excess dye.
• Wipe them dry, then glaze them with a cloth moistened with cooking oil.
You will obtain beautiful, brightly coloured eggs which you can also decorate with stickers, spangles, ribbons, cut-out designs or paint. You can keep them as long as you like. Over time, the contents will dry out and harden.
