It blew my mind when I learned at 19 that you could crack eggs with one hand. I was working in a restaurant and the head chef was showing me how to prep for the breakfast in the morning. He would just grab eggs two at a time, simultaneously crack and dump them in the bowl.

This is the way I do it now, if I have more than one egg, I do them two at a time. I was looking for a video to show this and found where someone is cracking two eggs with one hand. So from now on, I will be practicing this method, and cracking up to four eggs at a time.

On the edge of a bowl or other surface. I give it a light tap and break it open from the opposite side. I found that way the easiest. I never break the yolk anymore making fried eggs.

I can do it in one hand and sometimes try to do it in front of people to showboat but I still mess up and break the yolk like 20% of the time or sometimes even if I don't, make a mess of the egg whites on my hand. So when I'm alone I always use two hands. :-D

I can't crack eggs smoothly. Egg's shells always falls into the eggs. That's why I always take care to crack the egg with on the edge of the bowl properly.

It shocked me that vegetarians eat 2 eggs. As a non-vegetarian, I say that; I don't like egg white.

I crack it on the bench then one handed into the bowl/pan. When I crack on the edge of something there is more chance of getting small shards of shell in it

-I don’t know about the rest of you Freaks… Before baking, I place eggs on counter for room temperature requirement.
-Then I stare at just like my crystal ball 🔮 and issue the following command. “You are to jump up and crack yourself so that your inners fall into mixing bowl. And simultaneously project yourself toward the disposal, hit the Start switch, and water tap as you fall down into disposal. “Everything will be fine.”

it seems to work well for me 💪

My best way is to crack it on a flat surface and pull two sides apart. You can get a whole lot less egg shells and its faster. I'm positive because working in the restaurants we would have to crack eggs for recipes. Mine hardley ever had a problem with egg shells in the mix and was faster than the others at it. My chef trained manager said he would do it My way after we were doing it all together

I use both of my hands. I crack my eggs in half by tapping a butter knife or spoon... Although, few years ago when I started cooking. I used to create a small round hole in the egg by tapping butter knife on the egg, lol.

Wow lots of ways to crack an egg lol. I let them get room temp and then the side of the bowl. The other ways are just a bunch of noise and one-handed is to show off.
