Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Home and Garden: [header] How to oxidize copper [title] Hard boil two or more eggs. [step] Two or three eggs should be plenty unless you have a large amount of copper to oxidize. Place them with their shells intact in a pot of water and bring to a boil for at least ten minutes.

Ending1: [substeps] Do not place the eggs with their shells together, as they will melt and dissolve as they cook. Be sure to completely cover the surface and keep it moist. Ending2: Then drain the jars and transfer the eggs to a cooking pan so they'll continue to oxidize. [title] Place two jars into a colander. Ending3: Don't worry about over-boiling them. In fact, that over-done greenish ring and sulfur smell is exactly what you need, since the sulfur will alter the appearance of your copper. Ending4: [substeps] Boiling is most effective when the copper is fully dissolved, which typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes. You can still reintegrate the copper into the water once it's boiled.
