There are people who don’t just use the edge of whatever vessel the egg is going into?
I use a hacksaw to get the cleanest cut!
I prefer using the coping saw for eggs that are medium-sized or smaller. A delicate cut for a delicate egg!
Table saw egg cracker over here
That’s a great way to get some extra calcium in whatever you are making.
You know, from the eggshell fragments.

How much force are you people using to crack an egg?
I give my eggs the People’s Elbow from the second floor
It doesn’t take much when you are cracking eggs against an edge like that.
Corner of the counter. I have perfected cracking eggs on that edge I always mess it up on the cooking vessel
If it’s a plastic bowl I use the counter, otherwise whatever I put it into
I use flat surfaces after learning it tends to leave less shell bits than doing it on an edge
Edge of teacup, then into teacup to check for blood or shells.
I’m nearly 40 and I don’t think I’ve ever had blood in my eggs.
Which plane do your source your chickens?
You’ve never cracked an egg and seen a lil dark spot? That’s blood.
Is blood bad? I always ignore it…
Some folks don’t eat blood for various reasons.
I do a lot of baking, but even then it only happens once a year, if that. I still don’t want to have to throw out an entire batch of food because I cracked a bad egg into it instead of into a tea cup first.

^That cracked me up 🤣
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
Everyone else talking about raw eggs, I just had a mental image of someone completely splattering an egg on their counter
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.
it exploded all over my counter, how am I supposed to peel it??
You have to freeze it first! Duhhhh
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.
Smash it on my forehead. The egg goop runs down my face into my mouth. I eat the egg raw, shell and all. Then I do a primal yell and bust out another set of 20 reps. #legday
Bowl, counter, spoon/fork/knife, rim of pan.
Just whatever is handy st the time.
I crack my eggs on the cutting board, and if I’m feeling fancy I might even attempt to open them one handed!
Two per hand = 4xtra fancy
Flatter surface = better crack
I crunch it in my mouth and spit it into the pan
Just swallow the egg shell and spit out the yolk and white. Why do people make it so complicated?
I drop it on the pan to crack it.
This… Might not be as dumb as it sounds.
Goddammit you son of a removed I’m gonna try it

If I’m doing more than one cracking two together is best. For the last one, countertop.
I get the flat, inside-the-sink idea. But I’d want to clean either way, and I clean the counters more often than I clean the sides of the sink.

I’m a corner of the sink man myself. Sometimes the counter top if I get lazy.
I typically use the edge of a knife to crack the eggs, not a very sharp one but sharper than a butter knife. It makes the shell open much more easily and without shards than it would when taping on a bowl or the counter.
