Okay Bernie. They really need to do the heating thing with those 5
eggs and then follow through with allowing them to tend them as
suggested. The best way to do that is do 3 and after those are
returned, do the other two. Don't take them all away at once. They
should cool them back to, not cold, but to the barely warm temp. they
keep them. As they do this, they can place the addled ones in the
shallow dish (or anything that is not covered and private. While the
last ones are heating, that's the time to remove the box.
