What you need:
-
An egg
-
A tall glass or jar
-
Vinegar
-
Place the egg in a glass jar and cover with vinegar
-
Look closely at the egg, there will be tiny bubbles covering the shell
-
Leave the egg in the vinegar for a full 24 hours
-
Change the vinegar on the second day. Carefully pour the old vinegar down the drain and cover the egg with fresh vinegar. Place the glass with the vinegar and egg in a safe place for a week. Don’t disturb the egg but pay close attention to the bubbles forming on the surface of the shell (or what’s left of it)
-
One week later, pour off the vinegar and carefully rinse the egg with water. The egg looks translucent because the shell is gone. The only thing that remains is a delicate membrane of the egg surrounding the white and the yolk.
