Recipe - Egg Care And Handling Tips For Easter (Or Anytime)

Instruction file

1. Thoroughly wash hands before all stages of egg handling cooking,
cooling, dyeing and hiding.

2. If eggs cannot be colored right away, store them in their carton in the
refrigerator until they can be properly colored.

3. Do Not Color, Hide or Eat Cracked Eggs

4. Use water warmer than the eggs when coloring the eggs.

5. Store cooled, colored, dry eggs in their cartons in the refrigerator
until hiding, eating or displaying.

6. DO NOT eat eggs which have been out of refrigeration for more than two
hours.

7. Carefully consider hiding places. Avoid areas where eggs might come into
contact with pets, wild animals, birds, reptiles, insects or lawn
chemicals.

8. After eggs have been hidden and found, keep them refrigerated. DO NOT
eat cracked eggs.

9. If you plan to use colored eggs as decorations or center pieces where
eggs will remain out of refrigeration for many hours or even days, prepare
extra eggs for eating and discard the display eggs when they have served
their purpose. Posted to The Gourmet Connection Recipe Page Newsletter 23
