TEAR YOUR FAMILY APART! Inconsequential household debates during COVID-19 Crisis

Do you crack eggs on a flat surface or on an edge?

[Tik-Tok]

Assuming they aren't hard boiled, edge. What kind of psycho cracks it on a flat surface?

[killramos]

Edge. Surface sounds like a great recipe for shell in your food.

Flat. Like a pro

My wife does this too. Idk why.

I never find shells in my food though, so

[Darkane]

I crack flat. The edge crackers introduce shell shards.

One handed, flat pro crack FTW.

[ExtraSlow]

Yes yes, let the hate flow through you.

[Kloubek]

Edge crack raw eggs. But when hard boiled, I flat crack, and roll the egg with my palm and slight pressure, cracking all around the egg. If caught at the right temperature, the whole shell falls off beautifully.

If not, you're picking at the shell for a week.

[DonJuan]

I feel this should be a mega thread.

I am a flat cracker now (one handed opener too). Edge crackers have the possibility of pushing shell shards into the egg.

If just making fried eggs it not a big deal as you can spot the shell pretty quick, its more for bakers and home made pasta people, dropping eggs into another medium.

Damn dude, I got some Dahmer vibes reading that.

Boiled egg in a glass with some water and shake.

Flat cracker. I also flat peel boiled eggs. Very satisfying.

[gmc72]

I was an edge cracker until I tried flat cracking recently. Flat cracking FTW!!!

[88CRX]

Light tap on a flat surface to weaken the egg and then an edge crack to finish the job.

[Tik-Tok]

I was trying to figure out why you guys are getting egg shards when edge cracking, then realized you're probably just buying crappy supermarket eggs with thin shells.

If you're regular egg eaters do yourselves a favour and start buying farm eggs, or Hutterite eggs. World of difference in quality and taste

Edit: and I don't mean buy over priced stuff at the "farmers market". It's $7 for a flat of Hutterite eggs straight from them.

So like, does flat cracking not get egg yolk on the countertop?

This would not tear my relations apart, this would be grounds for nuclear annihilation.

Having a tough time imagining it being a yolk free process unless you truly are a pro. Even then...

[sabad66]

Flat. Decreased chance of breaking the yoke.

[Darell_n]

Unsure. Will ask next time I’m by the kitchen.

[nismodrifter]

I cannot recall last time I have cracked an egg. Have staff to do that.

This, only do edge for high volume eggs that will be mixed up, flat is for yolk retention cooking
