Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
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.

My directions say to peel the egg while it's hot and immediately put it in the mold and then dunk it into a bowl of ice water. When I tried using only warm eggs, mine turn out less detailed.
