my daughter and I always make easter eggs every year, and then I take the ones she made add them to her basket, and then hide her basket, this has been our tradition since she could walk, however, I have a hugh problem this year....we are putting hard wood floors in our house, and so...our stove is unhooked (gas stove) therefore, I cannot boil the eggs.....I've heard they explode in the microwave, but that you could poke a pin hole through to the yolk to prevent this.....does this work? and how long do I cook them for? it would be 12 eggs, do I cook them in water in the microwave? or just by themselves? help please! :)

the plastic eggs are nice, but the tradition is the decorating and hiding, but mostly the fun of decorating them :)
also....we are not going to eat them. :)

I would suggest going to a local grocery store and buying them already done they sell a dozen hard boiled eggs in a carton at this time of year then all you have to do is decorate them try wal-mart I know that they sell them but you could always call you local grocery stores first and find the best price hope this helps

My husband said do you have an outdoor grill? You can boil water and eggs on that.
Or you could do what my mom always did. She put little clues in plastic eggs so I could find the next eggs. When I got to the final egg there was a gift there, like a board game or something. It was a fun hunt!

You can do it...but they taste like..well Yahoo will block that word. You should put them in water (all of them) and bring that water to a boil. They will not explode that way.
You can buy cooked eggs around Easter..or ask a neighbor to cook them for you, or ask to let them use their stove.

If your local grocery store doesn't sell them, why not just ask your neighbor to use her stove for a few minutes?

Just get plastic eggs. They're so much easier, don't rot if you forgot where you hid them, and they don't turn barf green when you color them too much. They last 4ever
