These egg molds are simple to use and make great looking bear and bunny eggs. Simply boil your eggs, as if making standard hard boiled eggs. The trick is to keep the eggs moving around in the boiling water until they are set to keep the yolks in the center of the egg. If the yolk gets close to the edge of the egg, the egg mold won't make a clean impression. Peel the eggs while still hot, pop into the mold and drop into cold water for 10 minutes.
Easy as pie, and my 5 year old loves them.

These molds are made of quality plastic. They are cute. There are different designs but this pair is the easiest to work on. They are more rounded in shape as compared to the car and fish designs with sharper corners. We recently watched YT videos about bento boxes and it include creating eggs into fun shapes. We couldn't wait to try it. The molds are made in Japan and the instruction is also in Japanese so expect to get the how-to somewhere else.
Make sure not to damage the egg while removing the shell. You have to put it in the mold while still hot. It is impossible to peel it while hot so the trick is too peel it under running faucet. I place the egg in upright position and close it gently. It is OK to have some part of the egg to squeeze out, bigger egg is actually better than a small one to make sure you fill every nook of the mold. Snap the latch and place the egg in the refrigerator for about ten minutes. You can also color the egg if you immerse it into water with food color on it for a few minutes. Really fun, specially if you have kids in the house.

I got a set of these from a friend in Japan.
Medium to large eggs work best for me with these molds.
Boil the eggs as normal and peel them under cool running water to keep from burning your fingers while peeling them. Put the hot, peeled eggs in the molds and snap them shut, then plunge them into a bowl of icy cold water for 5-10 minutes. Then you have adorable shaped eggs. If you add a bit of food coloring to the water you plunge the molds into, you'll tint the eggs slightly and you can emphasize features either with a food coloring marker or with bits of nori or vegetables.
Just adorable, and the perfect thing to pack into children's lunches or even better, into your very macho husband's lunch box as a cute surprise.
So much fun. I know I want more egg molds now.

Our kids love eating eggs in all forms, but love eating shaped eggs the best. The concept is simple - you put a hot peeled hard boiled egg in the center of the mold, close the lid, and snap shut. You then toss the whole thing into a bowl of cold water, wait about 10 minutes, and then open it up to find a perfectly molded shaped egg.
We have several tips on making the perfect egg:
1. Open up the mold and wet the inside surface just in case your egg decides to stick (though it shouldn't).
2. Put in a hot egg. The shape of the mold will guide you as to how to place the egg. Here the base of the rabbit head is wider in the bottom, so the fat end of the egg goes that way.
3. If you have egg white bits that got squished out at the sides, you can clean the ragged bits up with a sharp knife. If yolk gets squished out - chop up the egg for egg salad.
4. If you want colored eggs that are also molded, you need to add the coloring or dye before molding them. Presuming you are using a liquid type of coloring method (such as dunking the eggs in water with dye in it), if you put the eggs in a water bath after molding, the moisture will cause the eggs to swell back up, losing the molding detail. So, once you have peeled your eggs, instead of dunking them in plain hot water, put them in colored hot water until they have achieved the color you want. Then mold them as per above. The seam will show white, but the form and overall color are there.

I have this set and the car/fish set. This set tends to produce more "clean" eggs while the other set usually ends up being messier and turning into egg salad.

I used these for eggs, and they work very well, you sort of have to have the egg still hot/warm for it to take the shape but that's no problem so bento bunny eggs ahoy

Too big for shaping the egg
As described above, You have to get the right size of eggs, not too big, not too small. Pretty much very low utilization if you buy this
