How to make a bouncy egg.

this will egg-splain (pardon the pun) to you how to easily make a bouncy egg using... an egg!

this is very simple and easy to do!



A friend showed me how to do this so I'm doing this on his behalf.

Step 1: Preparing the egg

Leave it, you need to do nothing to the egg at this point.

Did it really get to this stage overnight? My daughter and I have been experimenting using an empty shell segment, but two days later and the shell has gone, but the membrane is quite white. Wondering if it will ever go clear.

It might depend on the acidity of the vinegar your using, a weaker one might take longer to dissolve the shell whereas a stronger one might take less time.
For me it took ovrnight so maybe you could experiment with different vinegars.

I remember this I did it when i was small, good for you for posting and instructable about it. :D

just for clarification, what's keeping the "tension" in the egg is the inner and/or outer shell membrane. it's that bit that makes peeling hard boiled eggs really easy (when you boil them right) or really hard (when you boil them wrong)
