Preserve Easter Eggs by Removing the Egg Yolk
How to Remove the Egg Yolk
-
Shake egg for 3 to 5 minutes first to break yolk inside
-
Add some masking tape to end of needle for a grip
-
Poke a small hole in the top of the egg
-
Poke a slightly larger hole in the bottom of the egg.
-
Blow air through top hole and contents will come out of bottom hole
NotesIf you have troubles - enlarge the holes with a tooth pick and insert tooth pick and shake the egg some more to burst the yolk. If its not coming out its either too small of holes or yolk isn't broken.

What a neat idea. I always knew the best way was to boil them or work with plastic eggs but the real shell absorbs paint better than the plastic ones so thank you for the instructions. Now I can use all these decorative ideas on some of my own eggs from the pantry.

have wanted to do this for ages but didn't know how to get out the yolk - boiled eggs don't last which can be heartbreaking this way the egg is used and the shell lasts forever

How clever! It's awesome that I can't paint some eggs without the hassle of hard boiling them first. Instead, I can make an omelette!
