How to Make Scrambled Eggs Inside the Shell

Scrambled eggs have a delicate flavor, distinct from that of a cooked egg white or egg yolk, which is why they're so popular everywhere. We all know that in order to make scrambled eggs, you would need to crack open the egg and mix the white and the yolk. But have you ever wondered how you can scramble an egg right inside its shell, and create hard-boiled scrambled egg goodness? This article will show you how, with just a few easy steps!

Steps

1
Gather the materials. You will need the following:
- A long-sleeved T-shirt
- Rubber bands or twine
- An egg of your choice (uncooked)
2
Insert the egg in one of the sleeves of the shirt. Make sure that it is placed in the middle of the sleeve so you can have room to grab the ends in the next few steps.

3
Tie the rubber bands or twine on both sides of the egg. This will secure the egg as you "scramble" it in the following process. Make sure they're tied tightly around the egg so that it won't fall out.
4
Grab the ends of the sleeve with each hand, and wind it several times. Once the sleeve is wound, pull both ends of the sleeve, unwinding it and spinning the egg in the middle. Continue doing this several times, winding and unwinding the sleeve, as this gradually scrambles the egg in its shell.
5
Once finished, untie the sleeve and retrieve the egg. Check for any cracks on the egg and make sure there are no deformities. It's also a good idea to shine a flashlight through the egg — if it produces an orange hue, then you can tell it's fully scrambled.
6
Boil the egg. It's likely the shell has been considerably weakened through all the spinning, so it's recommended that you boil at a lower-than-normal temperature. This will prevent the egg from cracking. Cook for about 15 minutes.
7
When the egg is done boiling, take it out and open the shell. The colour of the egg should be light yellow.
8
Enjoy your delicious scrambled surprise!

Warnings

If you boil the egg too long, the egg will crack by itself.

Don't pull the sleeve too hard when spinning the egg — this may crack it and leave a mess!
