    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

    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

    I do this, but I end up with a trail of wasted egg white between where I crack it and the bowl or pan

    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
