I have heard eggshell membranes are good for your joints.

But every time when I peel a boiled egg, the membrane is stuck to the shell.

How do I get the membrane out and eat it?

  • I don't know that it would be very useful, but if you soak an egg in vinegar you can dissolve the shell leaving just the membrane. – SourDoh Nov 16 '14 at 15:00
  • @sourd'oh wha?? I've never heard of that. Just regular vinegar? How long does it need to soak? Could I do that for deviled eggs? – Jolenealaska Nov 16 '14 at 15:19
  • @Jolenealaska It's usually more of a kids science experiment thing. I don't remember exactly how long it takes, but I think is a couple days. [Naked Egg](http://imaginationstationtoledo.org/content/2011/04/how-to-make-a-naked-egg/) – SourDoh Nov 16 '14 at 15:24

    @Jolenealaska: If you use 25% regular vinegar the shell should be dissolved within one day (if I remember rightly). Months ago I did [this](https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/1167081_10201636107519579_291663948_o.jpg). – Ching Chong Nov 16 '14 at 15:26
  • That is cool...now I really *do* want to experiment. – Jolenealaska Nov 16 '14 at 15:30
  • Though it makes your egg taste of vinegar @Jolenealaska – Preston Nov 20 '14 at 11:43

Probably find it easier to crack a raw egg and then peel the membrane from inside. Maybe use some tweezers to get started.
