I haven't tried this yet and although I've been intriqued by those infomercials for a gadget that does this...I've managed to keep that toy out of my kitchen. Here's a way to do it with a long sleeve tee shirt and some string.

(6,187 posts)BR seems like a nice comfortable grandmaish name, and the subject is eggs.
Seriously why not just give it a try?" Worst case, you're out an egg and 15 mins of your time. AND the dog loves you a little more.

(3,147 posts)I do plan on trying it, but I don't really like eggs. I'll try it on SO.

(2,012 posts)A large darning needle and good lungs are needed to put holes in the ends, then blow out the egg. If you're not intending to hide the eggs for the kids and are careful with the dyed egg shells you can save them for next Easter. And have scrambled eggs for breakfast or bake a cake.
I got to see 9 of the fabulous Faberge eggs in New York in 2004 before Forbes sold them for about 120 million to an oil tycoon who returned them to Russia. They were created for the Russian Imperial family from 1898 to 1916; out of 50 made 47 have survived in collections around the world. In 1989 26 eggs were loaned to San Diego, the largest collection on exhibit since the Russian revolution.
