Soak an egg in vinegar for about 2 days (?). The vinegar (ethanoic acid) acts on the egg shell (calcium carbonate) and denatured the contents of the egg, until ultimately, the whole egg becomes rubbery. You can actually then bounce the egg and it won't break.

The chemical salt that is present in egg shell is calcium carbonate. In your high school chemistry lab, you would have done dilute hydrochloric acid test to testify the presence of calcium carbonate salt. Same procedure has to be adopted here also.
Take a beaker filled with dilute hydrochloric acid. Put the egg into it. Voila, only the yolk of the egg will float as calcium carbonate will dissolve in dil HCL :) This is how you can through an egg without breaking.
