Abstract
A decorative hard boiled egg having a corrugated external surface is produced by placing a shelled boiled egg in a mold. The mold is provided with transverse circular corrugations or with longitudinal corrugations, the corrugations preferably taking the form of inwardly extending ridges alternating with inwardly concave surfaces. The egg mold may comprise a container and a plurality of molding elements interchangable with other molding elements to vary the aspect of the molded egg.
