Get your act together. You need to get all of your ingredients for the project in one place. Once assembled, you're ready to strip your egg.

Put your eggs in the container. You need to leave enough room so that they don't touch each other. It's fine if the eggs touch the sides of the bowl, just not each other.

Cover the eggs with the vinegar. You don't need to measure exactly, but you just need to make sure that the eggs are completely covered. Put the lid on the container.

Chill out. To make a proper naked egg, put the eggs in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Now, just wait.

Remove the eggs from the container with the large spoon. Be careful, as the shells are almost all the way dissolved. Now, empty the old vinegar and pour new vinegar over the eggs. Cover them and put them back in the refrigerator for another 24 hour nap.

Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and the container again. Now your eggs are done. There is no shell, but it looks just like a normal egg. You are looking at what the egg would look like without its shell.

Tips & Warnings
If your egg comes out of the second vinegar bath and anything is oozing, throw it out. This is why it is important to do more than one at a time, for a backup.
Squeeze the egg after everything is done, so you can see that the outside membrane is flexible. Try not to squeeze too hard though, or you might break the membrane.
Naked eggs are not edible. They are not for decoration. This is strictly a science experiment.
