I don't care if it's some traditional italian thing to crack an egg on the table. It's barbaric.

It's like opening a tough lid. You use explosive force, not a constant force
it's doable, but you should find an edge. the edge of my stove has a little lip and I do it there, and wipe it up with a bleach rag after

>>8611546
I've literally never gotten shell in my eggs when cracking on an edge. It just doesn't happen to people that know how to use their hands

I wouldn't risk pissing off Jacques. He won't hire you if you edge crack an egg in front of him.

Guys calm down.

Yeah, but who is he? Does black twitter "make memes" about him on the reddit?

How stupid could you be

>all these autists aren't using another egg to crack their eggs
For every force there is an equal and opposite force, you'd have two cracked eggs.

Have you ever even worked in a kitchen?

>>8611803
It's the law of nature. Survival of the fittest. The uncracked egg gets put back in the container.

Pretty soon you have identified the alpha egg in the pack. My grandfather had an alpha egg that lasted 20 years.

He called it Big Cracker

Lemme guess, you live in one of those retarded countries where they don't wash the shells, right?

With your hands you fuckin idiot

>that feel when you go to crack an egg on the counter but instead of getting a spiderweb fracture it gets some dumb crack going to the top of the egg and you just end up pulling off a piece of the shell and making a hole that is not big enough for the yolk to get out of.

Even birds can use tools. Are you seriously less intelligent than a bird?

>Tap egg gently but firmly with a fork or the back of the knife.
>You now have a perfectline cracked through the middle of the egg shell.
>Push thumb through to make a hole and pull the two half shells apart, do this over the bowl and drop the egg in.
>Or if you're seperating the yolk and whites use the shell halves like cups to pass the yolk between them until all the white has dripped out.

I don't know why you'd need to tap it on any surfaces when simply tapping the egg with the back of a small knife or a fork does the trick even better than some pretentious method.

>>8612082
I don't believe you for one second. The utensil will just go through the egg shell and pierce the yolk before it even leaves the shell.

>>8612082
How is tapping with a fork less pretentious than hitting it on the side of a bowl?

Speaking of eggs, I have trouble flipping my eggs when I fry them. Like the spatula won't go all the way under the yolk, it'll only go like 90% of the way, so half the time I end up supremely fucking it up. How do I not do this?

Washing the shells is what causes the problems in the US

>not just eating the eggshells to get stronger

>>8612140
It only is when people say that's what you're supposed to do, as if its the only right way to crack an egg and only master cooks know of this ancient method passed down from the italian gods themselves.

>>8612142
Practice really. Start off doing it carefully, maybe use a wooden utensil to flip it over a metal one.
As you practice you'll start to learn how to handle the egg without breaking the yolk and ruining it.

The edges on my bowls and cutting boards were too broad so I tried a knife and never looked back.

>>8611522
I crack it in the pan. Not the edge of the pan, the bottom.

Eggshell doesn't cause salmonella if it's fully cooked. It's just extra calcium.

>when you think the pasta is fresh

>>8615288
yeah, what would have happened if the Big Cracker alpha had had found its master one fine day, maybe a mutant egg, when he least suspected it? and twenty years old, putrid slimy rotting egg had exploded all over his kitchen and himself. I wonder if that story is true or just some /ck/ bullshit.

oh i thought i was still on /tv/

this thread makes more sense now

>>8611522
Couldn't you crack it with the bottom of a spoon?

>>8611565
its happened to me enough times myself but generally the edge has very little to do with the method (piece usually falls off on top of the egg after the fact) to the point that i think these fucking idiots have no idea what theyre talking about. I want to get good at flat cracking to impress chefs that I am not a basic bitch but edge is superior.
