Here's a link to what I'm talking about:

http://www.cookingcute.com/using_egg_molds.htm

I checked the Bento Store and could not find any molds.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an on-line source (in the US) for bento egg molds?

I think these could make killer deviled eggs on my catering trays.

(Please don't buy them all before I get there ;)!)

I've done this in a heart shaped flan mold and it worked pretty well, except for the fact that the egg was not large enough to fill the mold correctly.

The first time we used two molds, one on top of each other. When pressed and cooled the egg split.

The second time, I poached it. It came out fine, but the yolk was off center.

I think I need a real mold.

Thanks for any help.

That's actually not quite what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to find a mold that I can put a warm, peeled hard boiled egg into and make it into a different shape. I've done hearts. Apparently you can get stars, bears, other things.

Thanks anyway, I'll keep looking and hope somebody comes back w/ useful info.

Thank you jasie!

That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I hope to find a US source.

The link you sent is from Hong Kong.

I'm still working on it...

But, thanks again!

The woman who brought us BentoTV, has an ebay site (based in the US).

Perhaps you'd be interested in this, but there's another ebay store (based in Japan), that has a wider selection and prices listed in US dollars(here, here, here, here, here, and my favorite...an egg mold for both chicken and quail eggs!) :rolleyes:

Perhaps a big Japanese supermarket (such as Mitsuwa) might carry some locally?

Mitsuwa says they don't have any, so I guess I'm going to have to wait for a shipment from Japan.

Thanks to all for trying.

And thanks to Cats2 for the link to TV.

Happy horridaze ; )
