    The hard boiled egg in a bag trick is an easy kitchen-friendly and safe way to do it or when you don't have supplies. If a bit messy.

    It's just the sulphur in the egg that oxidises it much faster than in the air. I think most of us that do it regularly use Liver of Sulphur in a warm solution.

    I put my cut up egg in a liitle plastic tub and then in a larger tub with the silver in it and then put a lid on it works brilliantly x
