Video Transcript

"So the first thing we're going to do is drain the egg. It's a raw egg and we're going to make a small crack onto the top half of the egg. It's very important that we when we drain the egg. We make the hole from the top more narrow side of the egg because the bottom. The wider side is going to be used as the base. Where it's going to wobble. So we need that wider side so when we drain the egg. We're going to making a hole from the top the more narrow side and we take the fork and we bang. Gently we don't want the egg to smash. We just want to break the top half and once the fork enters the egg. We kind of just turn it around and try to dig a little bit of a hole. It's very important that we try to leave the inside skin on the egg. It's a very thin skin and this is going to help the bottom of the egg. The finished product that's going to give it more support and save it from cracking and breaking apart into smaller pieces. So we, we simply chip away at the top of the egg and we continuously just make a hole a wide hole and we try obviously to not make any cracks in the bottom of the egg. So that we can put the, the marble and the I-Clay inside. After the egg is emptied out. What we do is we wash it and we dry it by gently first doing the outside kind of just taking a tissue and just rubbing it against the outside. Not pressing but just trying to absorb the drops of water. That are left around and we do the same thing on the inside. Without pressing or scraping around just kind of gently dab the tissue on the inside and let it absorb up all of the water. That is still inside the egg form rinsing it out and this is how we're going to dry the egg. Again the most important thing to remember is just to do it gently and try not make any cracks. On the inside keep the thin skin that is around the inside of the egg shell intact. Now we've seen how to drain the egg and to rinse it out and dry it off."
