Electric Kool-Aid Hard Boiled Eggs

Step 3 Remove a bit of Albumen

Here you want to suck out some egg white to make room for the food coloring. Be careful, the eggs are still fragile. Be creative.

The best method we found was to poke holes in opposite faces of the egg.
Hold one side downwards, so the other hole is facing upwards.
Insert the syringe in the bottom hole, and pull back the plunger, carefully.

If you pull too hard, the egg will implode.

If you work the needle back and forth, you can find the sweet point where lots of egg insides come out.


You can also suck out the egg whites with your mouth.

sucking on a raw egg w/ your mouth is just asking for salmonella.

If you look at the picture you will see they are sucking it out with a syringe, not their mouth. A much better idea for food handling safety.

Doesn't matter what you suck it with, if there is salmonella on the shell it will contaminate the egg or you or whatever it touches up until the point that it is cooked and killed. However it is highly unlikely that there is salmonella on the shell and even so, by the time the egg is cooked it will be killed.

I suppose "go suck an egg" would be an insult if you want the person to get salmonella, but they'd have to such a lot of eggs before that would happen.

Creepy but cool instructable. Does the color appear outside of the shell after boiling? I ask because it could be a fun surprise to make some of these for easter and let the kids crack open their plain eggs just to discover the color on the inside.
