Product Description
Shape hard boiled eggs into hearts or stars with this easy to use egg mold. Place a just cooked and shelled hard boiled egg into the mold bottom, put the top over the egg, slowly press down and secure. Put egg and mold into cold water. After 10 minutes, remove and slowly open the mold, revealing an egg in a heart or a star shape. For additional interest with the egg still in the bottom half, take a knife and slice the egg in two.

Our kids love eating eggs in all forms, but love eating car 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. For those with the questions regarding egg size - it varies, depending on what mold you use. It can be anywhere between M-L, from our experience. Small eggs don't fill it out all the way, and XL can be used, although you'll end up cutting away a lot more of the squished egg on the side.
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 top of the heart 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.

These molds are made with quality plastic. They are so cute. There are different designs but this pair is the easier to work than my first pair which is the car and fish designs. 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.

Its so fun having star and heart shaped eggs and having people wonder how you did it ^_^ just remember to use extra large eggs or you wont get the best shape.^_^

So my first few attempts with these egg molds were pretty much failures. We usually get large eggs, and I realized after several failed attempts that you really need an extra large egg to fill up this mold. The bear, truck, fish, and bunny egg molds I have accommodate large eggs very well and result in a very nice shape. This particular product really doesn't work without the largest egg you can buy in a store.

you really need to use extra large eggs for these. I love these. I bought these and after using these I got to use these once I ordered the other 4. and have been playing with them all since. I've made probably 10 eggs since I got the star and heart =p
OH ALSO!!! I learned that after heating the eggs if you don't want to make more every time you can leave some hard boiled eggs in the shell and when your ready to make more molds just put the eggs in a bowel and microwave them for 1 min. then shell it and put it in the mold. It works just fine and is still yummy =)

These work exactly as advertised and are a lot of fun. I recommend that you buy them, and ensure you have Extra Large eggs in the house when they arrive.
If you use eggs that aren't Extra Large, it won't work properly.

I bought a set of these on a whim when looking for ways to make my bento lunches more interesting. They're really easy to use, and do exactly what they promise. You definitely need to use BIG eggs, or the mold won't be filled properly and the end result will be more "amorphous blob" than star/heart.

These are simple to use, wash up beautifully, and make adorable shapes. The heart shaped one works considerably better than the star shaped one, though. With medium eggs, the heart is visible, and the star not at all. With large eggs, the star looks a little deformed. With extra large eggs and a little trimming, the star finally shows up, but it far less pointy than the form would have you think.
Still, adorable, and a little knifework makes them better.
