Step-by-Step Method:
1. Prepare the PET Bottle

Remove the label from the bottle and wash it thoroughly to eliminate any residue or odor.
Using scissors, make a lateral cut in the bottle, creating an opening about 15 cm wide, allowing easy access to place your hand inside.
2. Clean the Interior of the Bottle

Dampen a paper towel or a clean cloth with alcohol.
Carefully wipe the inside of the bottle with the alcohol-dampened paper towel to sterilize it. This step is essential to prevent the growth of fungi and to protect the eggs from contamination.

3. Organize the Eggs

Gently place the eggs inside the bottle. A 2-liter PET bottle can accommodate up to 20 standard-sized eggs.
Lightly shake the bottle to ensure the eggs are well arranged and secure within the space.
4. Close the Bottle
