How can I keep food coloring from seeping through the egg shell?!


Question: How can I keep food coloring from seeping through the egg shell!?
Is there some type of non-toxic glaze or wax or something to keep food coloring from seeping through the egg shell for hard boiled colored eggs!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Egg shells are porous, which is why dye seeps through them and also why egg shells are easy to dye!. I would either find some kind of wax or dip them in vegetable oil first!. The only problem with the oil though is that the color will not adhere to the shell so much and you may find that you will either get a paler version of what you want or maybe no color at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In all my 40 years of having colored eggs I have never seen dye seep through the shell!. Are any of your egg shells cracked in the boiling process!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
