    I use flat surfaces after learning it tends to leave less shell bits than doing it on an edge

    There are people who don’t just use the edge of whatever vessel the egg is going into?

        I prefer using the coping saw for eggs that are medium-sized or smaller. A delicate cut for a delicate egg!

      That’s a great way to get some extra calcium in whatever you are making.

      You know, from the eggshell fragments.

      I’m nearly 40 and I don’t think I’ve ever had blood in my eggs.

      Just swallow the egg shell and spit out the yolk and white. Why do people make it so complicated?

    I crack my eggs on the cutting board, and if I’m feeling fancy I might even attempt to open them one handed!

    Smack em on the counter on the top and bottom, then roll em on the counter, pressing firmly with the palm to make a ton of little cracks. They’ll peel easily under water now no issue.

    If you wanna be flashy, break a small hole in one end, put your mouth on it and blow hard, POP! NUDE EGG

        Lmao fuck I was confused by the responses too as I had been assuming hard boiled eggs.

        Tho I do Crack raw eggs on the counter then into a bowl with one hand, checking for blood spots. With a little practice, it’s quick and easy.

    I get a bowl and crack it on the outside of the bowl (not the rim) then put it into the bowl to check for shells before it goes into wherever it needs to be.
