To safely empty an eggshell—
|
1. Wash the egg using water warmer than the egg, then dry it. For
extra safety, you can also rinse the egg in a bleach solution of 1
teaspoon chlorine bleach mixed in 1 quart of water. |
 |
2. With a sterilized long needle or small, sharp skewer, prick a small
hole in the small end of the egg. |
 |
3. Using the same needle, prick a large hole in the large end, then
carefully chip away bits of shell around the large hole until the
hole is big enough to fit the tip of a baster. |
 |
4. Stick the needle or skewer into the yolk to break it. |
 |
5. Either shake the egg large-end down over a cup or bowl until the
contents come out or use a baster to push out the contents of the
egg. Press the bulb of the baster to push air into the egg and let
the contents fall into the cup. |
|
6. If the contents don't come out easily, insert the needle again
and move it around to be sure both the shell membranes and yolk are
broken. |
 |
7. Rinse the empty shell under cool running water. |
 |
8. Stand it on end to drain and dry. |
