Mysteries of Cracking An Egg?

Tweet

Do you know how to properly crack open an egg? Or are you one of those people who wind up on occasion getting shells in their scrambles to show sometimes it's not so simple. Well, according to an article researched by "Today," there are some ways you can avoid a Humpty-Dumpty and do your eggs properly. I have always cracked eggs against the side of a bowl when preparing them for a meal. According to the experts the sharp-edge method isn’t always the best idea for neatness. And I have to agree, periodically I make a yolky mess on the counter or find a itty-sized piece of shell in my mixture. For less mess and fuss this food expert advises cracking eggs against a flat surface or a countertop. This egg-cracking technique is best for ensuring the yolk stays intact, and your shell is less likely to break off into the egg itself. Final tip from the chefs. Always use a separate bowl when using eggs for making a cake or other baked items. It's a safeguard against having any shell accidently fall into the mixture. Something I admit I don't do...well now I will. And if you do have a piece of shell floating in the egg mixture moisten your fingertips and just fish it out. It will keep the egg ooze from sticking to your fingers which might happen if they were dry. So, how do you break your eggs? Any yolk spills requiring cleanup or shell fragment excursions, lol? At least now your prepared with some egg-cellent ideas.... Source: Today Photo- msn.com
