Decorated eggs are a beloved part of Easter traditions. In many families, time-honored methods are passed down through generations — some even dating back to great-grandmothers.
So, if you’re planning to dye eggs this year, it’s important to prep them properly. Take the eggs out of the fridge about 40–60 minutes beforehand to prevent cracking during boiling. Seasoned home cooks swear by giving the eggs a gentle wash, wiping them down with vodka (yes, really!), and even pricking the shell with a fine needle to keep them from bursting.
Once the eggs are boiled and dyed, and the shells are dry, give them a light rub with vegetable oil to add a beautiful, glossy shine.
