I do a lot of baking, but even then it only happens once a year, if that. I still don't want to have to throw out an entire batch of food because I cracked a bad egg into it instead of into a tea cup first.
I get a bowl and crack it on the outside of the bowl (not the rim) then put it into the bowl to check for shells before it goes into wherever it needs to be.

There are people who don't just use the edge of whatever vessel the egg is going into?

I use a hacksaw to get the cleanest cut!

I prefer using the coping saw for eggs that are medium-sized or smaller. A delicate cut for a delicate egg!

Table saw egg cracker over here

That's a great way to get some extra calcium in whatever you are making.
You know, from the eggshell fragments.

How much force are you people using to crack an egg?
skulblaka@startrek.website · 4 pts · 2y
I give my eggs the People's Elbow from the second floor

It doesn't take much when you are cracking eggs against an edge like that.

Corner of the counter. I have perfected cracking eggs on that edge I always mess it up on the cooking vessel

If it’s a plastic bowl I use the counter, otherwise whatever I put it into
criitz@reddthat.com · 50 pts · 2y
I use flat surfaces after learning it tends to leave less shell bits than doing it on an edge
Eagle0600@yiffit.net · 19 pts · 2y
Yeah, I just do mine on the countertop.

Edge of teacup, then into teacup to check for blood or shells.
Neato@ttrpg.network · 17 pts · 2y
I'm nearly 40 and I don't think I've ever had blood in my eggs.
Which plane do your source your chickens?

I crunch it in my mouth and spit it into the pan
starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
Just swallow the egg shell and spit out the yolk and white. Why do people make it so complicated?
odium@programming.dev · 8 pts · 2y
Bowl, counter, spoon/fork/knife, rim of pan.
Just whatever is handy st the time.
Thrella@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
I drop it on the pan to crack it.

I crack my eggs on the cutting board, and if I'm feeling fancy I might even attempt to open them one handed!

Two per hand = 4xtra fancy

Everyone else talking about raw eggs, I just had a mental image of someone completely splattering an egg on their counter

I'm a corner of the sink man myself. Sometimes the counter top if I get lazy.

A complicated hand gesture in which I hold the egg between my forefinger, ring finger and thumb and flick it with my middle finger.
visnae@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
What? Not everyone dissolves the eggshell in citric acid? /s
Bismuth@lemmy.cafe · 1 pts · 2y
I slam it into vinegar and turn it into a risky bouncy ball
