The Correct Way to Crack Eggs 

Cracking eggs is a crucial step in many recipes, but using the rim of a bowl to do so can lead to unwanted shell fragments, bacteria, and compromised dishes. The best way to crack an egg is by using the edge of a flat surface, such as a countertop, for a cleaner and more efficient process.

Gently tap the egg on the surface until a crack forms, then widen it by applying more pressure while holding the egg above the bowl. This method minimizes the risk of shell fragments entering the mixture, ensuring your recipe succeeds.
