How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs for Easter egg dyeing
If you are going to engage in the long-standing tradition of dyeing Easter eggs, you are going to need to start out with a good, sturdy canvas.
Put eggs in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Cover the eggs with an inch of water.
Put 1 tablespoon of vinegar in the water.
Bring the water to a boil.
Let the eggs boil in the water for about 30 seconds.
Turn off the heat, and put a cover on the pot.
Let the eggs sit in the covered pot for 12 minutes.
At the end of 12 minutes, the eggs will be perfect - no olive green-looking film on the yokes.
If you want to eat the eggs without coloring them, transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Leave the eggs in the ice water until they are cool.
Crack and peel the eggs under cool, running water. The shells should come off easily.
The helicopter egg drop was scheduled to take place at approximately 10:30 a.m. Designated egg hunts for different age groups and those with special needs will start at 11 a.m.
The city says the Easter bunny will also be available for pictures.
