J. Kenji Lopez-Alt commented on a recent video that he did a test of cracking eggs on a flat surface vs the edge of a bowl. I just watched the video and basically he said he was going to start cracking them on the edge as it’s easier and better results to the egg

Great tip! Cracking on a flat surface does help keep the shell intact.
Where else are you cracking an egg if not on a flat surface like a table or countertop?
Back of a normal cutlary knife
Works 99% of time. Splits perfectly. Can then do the yo yo to seperate the yolk (I like double yolk)
*a level surface.
Never crack you eggs on the corner of anything
Or a separate bowl
You can also use one egg as a little hammer to crack another egg/
If there are shell fragments falling into the bowl, it is never from hitting the edge
nahh
I do this, but I end up with a trail of wasted egg white between where I crack it and the bowl or pan
“Laughs in one handed crack on the side of the pan”
Do you even egg bro?
