Now, I'll show you how to remove the insides from the egg. A good idea, is, about a week before you're ready to do your egg decorating, you get every, any time you need to cook with eggs, you should empty them out like this. Instead of cracking them, you'll empty them carefully like this, and save the eggshells. OK. So, what you need to empty this egg, is a very pointy knife or a craft knife like this. And you're just going to very, very gently, just kind of poke at the top of the egg. We want to make a very small hole at the top of the egg, approximately an eighth of an inch, at the narrow end of the egg. And just poke at it like that, until you have a nice small hole, and make sure that you pierce the lining. Inside the egg there's a very thin membrane, and you want to make sure you pierce that membrane. And then, turn the egg over to, this is the wider section of the egg, and do the same thing. But this time, we're going to make a hole that's about a quarter of an inch in diameter, or even a little bigger. And you just kind of chop away at it like this. You want to do this over a bowl, so that it's, it doesn't spill everywhere. And, if you're using the egg for cooking, you want to make sure that any of these loose shells, you discard before you blow out the egg. So, make a big enough hole there, and, also, again, make sure you break that membrane that's inside. It's a very thin, delicate, membrane in there. And then, you simply turn the egg over. You're going to blow into the small hole, and the egg should come out the large hole. Actually, I think that, that hole's a little bit too small. There, that's a little better. There you go. Now, it's starting to come out, and then I'll blow in there, and I'll empty it into my bowl. After you've blown the contents from your egg, you should let them set for about a day to dry. You could also, if you want, you can put some water in there. Just kind of run some water in there and shake it around, and blow the water out if you want to clean out the inside a little bit.
