Yes, that's it.
I usually give the egg a good tap on the counter or the side of my sink,
then I hold it over the bowl with my fingers on top and my thumbs
supporting the underside of the egg. I gently pull the two halves apart
slowly and let the yoke slide into the bowl. this way I can tell that
the yoke is out of the egg and I can usually tell if a shell piece tries
to slide out.
It sounds more complex than it is. <grin>

It seems to me most of you are suggesting pulling the egg shell apart
by tugging the shell halves in opposite directions, as opposed to
taking the egg in both hands and twisting the shell in opposite
directions. Is this correct? This rookie cook needs to know! By the
way, this is a wonderfully useful and helpful forum. Thanks, all, for
sharing your knowledge and experience. Lou

I strike the egg on its long side with a knife. A swift, short stroke. It
will make enough of a crack for me to be able to pull the halves of the
shell apart, over a bowl, and the egg will run into the bowl.

Hold the egg firmly In one hand. 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.

Many thanks Marilyn for this advice from one blind cook to another.
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.

How To Cook An Egg In A Microwave
Are you running out of time, but want an egg? 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.
