At last, a fish-shaped hard boiled egg mold |
|
Filed under: Breakfast, Food Gadgets, Eggs  Eggs are cheap, versatile and rich in high-quality protein. But up until now, they've always been so insipidly...oval.
Well the Japanese are changing all that, with hard-boiled egg molds. These brightly colored plastic contraptions will turn your boring old oval egg into a cartoon fish, star, ghost or, of course, Hello Kitty. Simply drop in a freshly boiled and shelled egg while it's still warm, close the mold and pop in the fridge for a few minutes.
The crafty folks over at Flickr's bento box appreciation site often use molded eggs as part of their adorable Japanese-style boxed lunches - egg chickens laying on nests of julienned zucchini, egg bunnies dashing through broccoli forests, etc. I was so inspired I bought a mold of my own while visiting San Francisco's Japantown last week and have since been enjoying fish- and car-shaped eggs for breakfast. If only my mom had known about these when my brother was a picky toddler who only ate his PB&Js cut into dinosaur shapes!
A wide variety of egg molds are available at eBay's Store in Japan.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
