On average how many clean egg breaks do you go before cracking an egg and seeing a little shell piece fall in the mix?

I practically never do that. Maybe 10?

Same. I didn't realize it was difficult.

 

[AJUMP23]

I do it with one hand and never get shell in the bowl.

my other hand I busy doing cool stuff.

It's variable.

If I'm making a cake or some other recipe that needs a lot of eggs I'll crack 5-6 with no issues.

If I'm making specifically 1 or 2 fried eggs I'll get shells in the pan with 100% certainty

I’m going to deviate from the topic entirely for a minute and mention how weird it always looks to me when I see completely white eggs. In the UK eggs are brown/speckled, and the white egg although natural seems to me like it lines up with aspects of American culture - reminiscent of things like unnaturally white teeth, weird perfect grass rules for lawns, etc.

Anyway, it’s about 2-3 eggs before the egg shell becomes a scooper, based on my standard portion size. Rarely do more to test larger amounts and give an accurate answer. Sometimes I crack none, sometimes mistakes are made.

 

[Nobody_Important]

I don't? You just gotta be careful breh.

That includes you, my friend

 

[Kilau]

Have you learned nothing from the zoomers?

 

[Raven117]

I crack'em one handed. Can usually get about 3 before I get some shell in there.

Two handed...psh...

 

[Thaedolus]

almost zero, except when my toddler wants to “help”

 

[Corgi1985]

Zero because I'm an adult

 

[Nobody_Important]

zoomers?

 

[SatansReverence]

Cant vote, no suitable option for a functioning adult.

Cant remember the last time I fucked up cracking an egg. Maybe a couple years ago?

 

[thefool]

I eat the egg without cracking the shell.

 

[haxan7]

I just look at the egg and it cracks on its own. It happens with mirrors too sometimes.

 

[Taxexemption]

Some of this depends on your technique. If you break it on a jagged edge the edge causes the shell to go further inward, and this seems to increase the chance that you get shell. Breaking them on a flat surface like a counter in my experience will very rarely result in getting shell in. I pretty regularly drop an egg into ramen, and I almost never get shell in.

 

[swarley64]

This hasn’t happened to me for the past 8 years I’d guess

 

[Relativ9]

I can't remember the last time this happened?

Crack it on the table or against another egg instead of on the edge of your (tiny as shit, or any) bowl.

 

[infinitys_7th]

I eat probably 18-24 eggs a week, and I can't remember the last time a bit of shell got left behind, even when separating yolks with the shell shuffle.

 

[Star-Lord]

Today I discovered I'm completely inept at breaking eggs.

It's a fan-fucking-tastic day.

 

[GymWolf]

Just learn the hannibal technique guys

 

[Tschumi]

I've had shell in my egg twice in the last two years, but i haven't cracked many eggs so I'll just say once every 6 times

 

[Woffls]

tiny bits all the time… big bits never

 

[AJUMP23]

My 7 year old was cracking eggs this morning and didn't get any shell in the bowl. He cracked 4 eggs.

 

[AJUMP23]

OP i thought about this a little and I think you are using to much force when cracking an egg. It doesn't take a lot to crack an egg.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I feel bad for your yolks OP

I can crack hundreds with no shell. one handed splitting too.

is this a common challenge to many?

 

[Trogdor1123]

I did 16 the other day... Usually around 7 or 8 though

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Like over time? Or are you suggesting we make a NeoGAF competition with the sole purpose of wasting eggs because some men just want to watch the world burn? I mean, I've never been in a scenario where I'd need to crack over seven eggs.
