I like to crack it on the edge of the counter or sink. Try to crack it in the middle of the egg with a sharp medium to soft but firm crack. Pull it apartwith your thumbs where you cracked it, and hold it over the bowl. If you do it next to the sink, you can just drop your shell in to where your garbage disposal is, or have another plate or bowl to drop the shell into. This does take practice.

Give a quick, sharp tap on the edge of whatever bowl you are going to put it in. Then, you can take it in both hands and pull the shell apart. I usually get two shell halves and no shell bits In my egg. This too is like spreading stuff. The more you do it, the better you get at it.

My question on this topic is as follows: What is the best way to crack a egg? Of course with as little shells in the bowl as possible. Every time I've tried to crack a egg, I constantly crush the egg and get nothing but shells. Many thanks and keep up the great work teaching some of we blind cooks how to cook.

Eggs are good for you and full of protein. Eggs are great for breakfast, in a salad, or on a sandwich. Make an egg fast and easy in the microwave. Fried egg: Break 1 egg into a microwave save bowl. Gently poke the yolk of the egg with a knife. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate, so the egg does not explode. Put in microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrambled Egg: Crack 2 eggs in bowl and scrambled with fork. Cover bowl and place in microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir 1 or 2 times to make sure the eggs cooked thoroughly. Hard-Boiled Egg: Break 1 egg into bowl. Gently poke the yolk of egg with a knife. Cover the bowl and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until hard. Gently stir occasionally to make sure the egg is cooked throughout. The egg may not appear pretty, but once you cut it up finely over a salad, all that matters is the taste. Poached Egg: Pour 1/3 cup of water into bowl. Break 2 eggs into bowl. Poke the yolks with a knife. Cover bowl and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Let stand until whites are set and yolks are thick but not hard. Pour out the water and serve in bowl or lift egg out onto plate. Enjoy. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark In the good old days of Morse code Shorthand, 73's AKA Best Regards and or Best Whishes,From Ron Kolesar Volunteer Certified Licensed Emergency Communications Station And Volunteer Certified Licensed Ham Radio Station With the Call Sign of KR3DOG _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
