Egg Cubes
I highly recommend this unusual way of presenting an everyday ingredient! It's a quick way to make eggs look special. An egg cuber definitely comes in handy when you've got too many hard-boiled eggs on hand — say, after Easter. Plenty of people know how to dye eggs for Easter, but hardly anyone thinks about creative ways to use them afterward. The gadget that turns ordinary boiled eggs into perfectly shaped cubes was dreamed up by some inventive folks — hats off to them! On a holiday table, I think square egg slices look terrific. Your guests will rack their brains for ages trying to figure out the trick.

Step 1:
Let me introduce you to a nifty little gadget: the egg cuber. There's no special technique to prepping the eggs — you simply hard-boil them, place them in the mold, screw on the lid, and leave them alone for a while. Then you just take them out, slice them up, and use them to garnish all sorts of dishes.

Step 2:
There are a few rules to using this little marvel. First, before you drop in an egg, chill the empty cuber in the refrigerator for a bit. Second, oil the inside with a little vegetable oil so the egg won't stick to the walls.

Step 3:
The next key point: the egg needs to go into the cuber while it's hot. With a cold or even a warm egg, you may not get the result you're after.
-
Step 4:
Extra-large eggs may not fit in the mold, so it's better to use medium or large ones.
-
Step 5:
From a finished cube you can even make "dice" (for the gamblers among us).
-
Step 6:
You can cut it into squares or triangles — really, just let your imagination run wild. And we've got plenty of that!
