Immediately after watching this i managed to crack 3 eggs without error. Thanks.

Wow so easy, I had no idea what I was doing and the yolk always got splattered all over the pan. Now it's a lot smoother, thanks

[ianantonius]

My today's breakfast brought me here. I'll try this tomorrow.

[Fuzzsaphire]

i hope this works and i don't end up with a big mess to clean

[rotblitzkrieg]

Thank you! This was so helpful! The eggs I made after watching this were the best looking and tasting I've had in a long time! That I made, anyway.

This totally worked. I hit it at the bottom of a flat bowl to collect any leaks.

I have never cracked an egg before. Wish me luck.

Know what, I hit it a lil too hard and got some egg on my counter but it wasn't much and I didn't get shell in the pan so thank you

I've had to resort to using a knife to make the break with some eggs because the membrane is so tough that I have to use extra force to open it. The tabletop method doesn't work with these.

So you say, and so says my pro chef friend, but it doesn't work any better. I actually had more problems this way. Just do it the way that works best for YOU.

[briantigerdaugherty]

Definitely not chef Ramsay. A real chef knows how to crack an egg with one hand. Fast simple and clean. This video is not a professional tip
