Usually when I break an egg, I get little shell pieces in with the white and yolk. Any particular way to break it to get a clean result?

Use a hammer.

There are egg bits everywhere, you fucking monster.

What I've found works is to lightly tap it onto the bowl surface which you are trying to crack it on to create a small crack, then tilt the crack upwards, and us e the tip of the fingers to gently make the crack larger, then to part it. I've never had problems with egg shell fragments.

Alright, I'll try this next time I make an egg.

it's the cooking forum you re-re.

also i just smash it till it has a suitable crack in the middle, i then  use both hands and break it, with my thumbs on each side of the crack, i rarely if ever get anything but egg in my bowl or pan.

it's an art really.

I get a knife smash the egg in the middle leaving this slice in the egg shell then i open it up and pour it wherever I want
No spills no nothing

Chop it off.

Just shake it up a little bit and pour it out

Ah, I forgot about liquid egg.

Quote from: SkeletalChop it off.

Haha

Liquid egg must be an American phenomenon; I've never seen it before. It makes sense but I think people like to see where their egg is coming from here.

PS I often get a little bit of shell in the egg and it is the end of the world. Then I fish it out and the world slowly begins turning again.

If you do it fast enough with one hand you will succeed. The egg has to think about which parts it wants to piss you off with, so you must move faster than it thinks.
