Have you learned the art of cracking an egg?

Yesterday morning I decided that I wanted to fry an egg for my breakfast .So I looked in the tray for the biggest egg and stood over the bowl I had prepared for it ,got a knife and with the most skill I could muster came down ,wham.But with all of that surgical accuracy and skill the results were the same as I had gotten a million time before the shell cracked ackwardly and unevenly and I even gotten some splatter onto the counter.For the life of me I cant seem to find the formula for cracking the egg perfectly into two halves . Do you have the same problem when cracking an egg?

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji, Well, as a pure vegetarian and orthodox with Hindu rituals, so far I have never touched eggs. I would shiver and if made to do under compulsion, I am sure I will break them purposely. Off course , my hubby who has been in Armed Forces must have handled. I remember, my elder son tried as per Doctors advise, but he too could never handle them properly withot breaking. I suppose there is a trick behind handling. Wishing you a very happy Chrismas and New Year-2010. May God bless You and have a great time.

I think it all boils down to practice. As they say practice makes perfect. Do it every day and you'll see improvements. Another if confidence, don't think twice when you hit the egg. Just hit it straight and accurate. Cheers
