1. Cook 4 perfectly lovely free range eggs to hardboiled perfection
2. Place with cold water in pyrex bowl
3. Set in freezer for "just a sec" to cool while doing dishes
4. Forget about said eggs OVERNIGHT!
5. Remember the eggs while packing lunch the next day  and remove solid mass of frozen eggs in the shell. Wow!
My doggie will be the happy recipient of some really weird hard boiled eggs for the next couple days. Ah, kitchen adventures..... |

That is too funny! Although I have never put an egg in the freezer, I have put a soda in there...! Not a pretty site if you dont catch it in time. There is only so much room in a soda can and then it has to come out some way!

my two fondest 'egg' adventures were the time i made a 'quiche' and forgot to put the EGGS in!
and .. the time i put a HUGE pot of eggs on to boil for easter eggs ... took a buncha' kids to the store to get 'dye' .. and came back to a house full of smoke .. had to have the fire department come to suck out the smoke!

Oooh, that reminds me...
I have an chicken and egg story to tell... when we were kids and had just gotten our chickens, we found a couple of eggs that had chicken fetuses in them, so we went searching and found a couple more eggs that one of the hens was setting on... We thought we'd try hatching them and made our own "homemade incubator"...
We set the eggs in a soft cotton dishtowel, put that into a pan and put the pan in the oven on very very low heat. Then we left the door to the oven slightly ajar so as to not overheat the eggs.
The only problem? The wind picked up and the dishtowel fluttered a bit, touching the heating element on the top of the oven. The dishtowel caught fire and the eggs were charbroiled.
Luckily we were there watching it (like the eggs would be done hatching in an hour or something!LOL) and we were able to put the fire out quickly. But we had to explain ourselves to my dad when he came running after smelling the smoke.

This thread is funny. I did the same with the glass bottle cokes in the freezer. What a mess!

I'm guilty of putting a can of Pepsi in the freezer and forgetting about it. It only takes one such episode to teach you never to do it again. I've never tried freezing an egg whole but when I was working at a hospital, I was in the nurses station around lunch time when there was a horrible sounding explosion. One of the nurses aides had put an hardboiled egg into the microwave and of course, it didn't go well. Not only did all the patients' blood pressures go sky high, the staff all joined them.

I remember that my mother put a glass bottle of Nesbitts orange soda outside on a cold Nebraska winter night and forgot about it. Such a sight the next morning (she wasn't happy) with part of the neck broken off and orange pop from the bottle to the neck.

Hello Susan,
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has so much on her mind that she sometimes forgets things. Love all the other explosive stories, too!

Oh, this is a funny post. I tried to "flash chill" a bottle of white zinfandel wine - with the cork in. Next day, I opened my freezer to find it a funny shade of pink. But the ice cubes were pretty tasty. ;)
