Notes
- Check the eggs to ensure the shells are intact and have no cracks.
- Allow the brine to fully cool before adding the eggs, lest they cook in the residual heat.
- Do not overpack the container to prevent breakage, and ensure eggs are completely submerged in the solution.
- Weigh the eggs down by placing a small plate or a plastic bag filled with water on top to keep them from floating.
- To dye the eggs, add a few drops of red food color and a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the boiling water used to cook the eggs.
