The egg cuber (try googling under that name) is a molding device. You peel a still-warm hard-boiled egg and put it in the mold. Eggs, while hot, are very plastic, and it soon takes the cubical shape of the mold. You then chill it, and it holds it's shape.

Stuffed eggs is just a more generic phrasing for deviled eggs, and encompasses all the variations on that theme. Eggs a la Russe, as referred to below, is just one version.

Red beet eggs are a way the Amish produce a lightly pickled & colored egg. Here's a basic recipe:

Hard boil a dozen eggs. Cool and peel.

Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup vinegar in a saucepan, and heat until sugars are dissolved. Add 1 quart canned beets with their juice. Pour this mixture over the eggs. Refrigerate at least 12 hours.

The longer the eggs stay in the mixture the darker they turn, and the deeper the color extends into the whites.

Thank you, I will have to try this, I can't wait for New Year's Day.
