I always did mine right out of the boiling water. If they don't pop out I drop them right back in for a few more minutes.
I finally tried the boiling thing on a couple dozen this week. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I used the above strategy.
I probably boiled some longer than necessary /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif...1 hour+...but others took closer to 3 hours. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
As soon as I could handle them, I struck them a few times with a rubber mallet & out the cores came. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
Thanks for all the advice, gentlemen! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
I wish I'd of thought of this before I sent out "care packages" to call makers @ Christmas time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif I could have saved some of them the extra work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
