Although the structural characteristics of the eggshell vary by species, the chicken eggshell has three distinct layers : the mammillary layer, the prismatic or palisade layer, and the external layer.

So I saw that whole viral "put a boiled egg in a smallish glass, cover the mouth, shake the shit out of it, voila, peels in one easy go," and kept forgetting to implement it or about it.

Had eggs left, decided to boil them to make egg salad sandwiches. I decided, what the hell, I'll try that egg-glass-shake thing.

I am so mad at myself for not trying it sooner. Eggshell literally fell off the egg in one touch. I peeled a dozen in under 5 mins

Although the timings and temperatures are specific to #Charmander (and other fire-type) eggs, the general principles outlined here apply to other members of the #Dragon egg group as well.

1. Before you engage in activities leading to the creation of eggs, increase the #metal and #ceramic in your diet.
Thick metallic shells provide a number of benefits:
a) Strong shell strength
b) Better heat #insulation. You do not need to be as precise with breath temperature when heating them.
c) Better heat retention. Because they can be cooked hotter, you have more time to leave the nest for battles & hunting before it's time to return to reheat them.

2. A trick for polishing the shells
After heating the #eggs to the lowest red glow you can see in the dark, gently bathe them in dragon breath. Supposedly, this practice also helps to develop their cardiovascular systems.

3. During incubation, around 60% temperature strength tends to produce optimal results. You'll know when it's time to #reheat them next.

4. Once the eggs are jumping on their own, they're nearly ready to hatch. Bake the whole #nest in full-strength fire breath. This is important for two reasons:
a) It softens the eggshells for easier emergence
b) The extra heat lights the tail flame of the baby charmanders
It's important not to use the full fire until it's hatch day or else the fires will light prematurely and use all the oxygen in the egg.

5. You should now have a nest full of molten smashed #eggshells and miniature charmanders. Between now and when they leave the nest, bathe them in 35–40% strength #fire every 7–12 hours to maintain their body temperatures and fry off any external #parasites.
