When You Crack Open An Egg, Do You Crack It On A Flat Surface, Or On The Edge Of Something?
Now I have to hunt down my junior high Home Economics teacher and take
her to task for never sharing this nifty tip. At least I don't
remember her ever telling us to crack eggs on a flat surface.
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Probably teaching people
important life skills when they are thirteen or fourteen years old and
all angsty and wound up with hormones is not the greatest plan.
Thanks for sharing. :)

I am an edge -er...if there is such a thing... :)
The edge of something. Well, actually, i haven't really thought about it. To me i think if you were to crack it on a flat surface it would just break not crack. So i would say on the edge.
Actually I use both methods with equal results (not on the same egg of course). It's a matter of what one practices. Care to try my favorite challenge of cracking two eggs together and separating one by each hand? I'm still working on that one.
Actually, I didn't think about that before now..
I just crack the egg on anything i see in front of me :D

I do it on a flat surface, and then I open it with one hand instead of using both hands to pull the egg shell apart.
I was always told to crack it on a flat surface so none of the shell could get into the egg. And to never crack an egg directly into a mixing bowl, always into a smaller dish first in case there is something wrong with it. That way you haven't just ruined your whole batch of cookie dough.
I always crack eggs on the side of my Pyrex measuring cup, for a clean break. I also put the egg in to the cup to make sure it is good to use before I dump it in the batter. I have ruined a batter before by not checking my eggs 1st.
I hit 2 eggs together that's all I do
On the edge of something
I didn't know that about cracking it on a edge but usually i crack it on the flat counter where I'm working.
I crack on a flat surface of the cutting board that I use for chicken.
Usually on the edge of something because with that, I can do it with 1 hit, rather than several.
I crack the egg on the edge of the bowl. If you try to crack an egg on a flat surface all you get is a mess. Peace
I crack eggs on the side of the bowl I am using or the side of the counter. Cracking one on a flat surface sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!
