I'm not particularly good at cracking eggs.
I mean, I guess I'm okay. I always get the egg where it needs to go and only rarely have any stray egg shell to deal with. I have seen people much worse.
I guess where I let down the team is I sometimes - often - don't smack it hard enough and it is more of a picking the egg open process than a nice fluid CRACK, way-we-go.
I saw in the movie Sabrina where she goes to the Cordon Bleu cooking school and the teacher stresses that you have to give the egg a good authoritative crack. So now I am more conscious of that however I often end up with egg run-off on the outside of whatever vessel I am cracking on. Maybe all great egg-crackers do and I should just not worry about that.
Not sure, not sure.
I know some people consider not breaking the yoke important. I very seldom break the yoke in the cracking process, virtually never. Maybe I'm not as bad at cracking eggs as I let on at first. Now I immediately break the yokes on purpose because that's how I want my eggs but that's a whole nuther topic.
Here's a big thing though: I have never done the one hand egg crack.
I think I have to do that. Next time I have eggs I definitely have to try the one hand egg crack.
That could make all the difference in so many ways.
