How often are people getting shells in their eggs? I feel like it's not that common...

And if you do get a little shell in just use a larger piece of shell to get it out, works all the time.

What, I've always cracked it against an edge, and I literally don't remember when was the last time shell got in. Circular crack actually makes it hard for me to break open without dropping shells in

I think the "flat surface" thing might just be one of those chef wisdoms that actually has no effect, just like using oil in your pasta water.

Most chefs will tell you not to oil pasta water, just salt it well.

No, a big proportion still believe this nonsense, even Gordon Ramsay

I didn’t say they all do, I said most chefs, and I didn’t mean celebrity chefs. Just because Ramsay thinks it doesn’t negate what I said.

You said "most", but from my experience it's been about 50/50

I’ve worked in kitchens since the 90s, and I have never met a chef that oils the water.
I said most because I know there are at least some that do, like Ramsay.

I use a knife, one hit and I have perfectly cracked in half egg

So the tip here is to crack an egg against something else, be it curved or flat?
Amazing. Simply amazing.

Instead of an edge or corner, yes. I agree with a flat surface being more consistent, but I can't see the value in using another egg tbh...

What if I only have 1 egg and concave / convex surfaces at my disposal? Can I just bite it?
