What tool is used to apply wax on eggs?

You don't apply wax directly to eggs. Wax is used to preserve eggs, not as a coating on their shells.

Here's how it works:

* The process: Eggs are dipped in a warm wax bath, which creates a thin, airtight seal around the shell. This prevents moisture loss and oxygen exchange, slowing down the decomposition process.

* Tools: There are specialized tools for waxing eggs, including:

* Wax Dipping Tanks: These are large tanks that hold the melted wax.

* Dipping Baskets: These hold the eggs while they are dipped in the wax bath.

* Wax Removal Tool: This is used to remove excess wax after the dipping process.

* Wax Heating Equipment: To keep the wax at the right temperature for dipping.

While not a tool, paraffin wax is the most common type of wax used for egg preservation.
