I chose this video of how to crack an egg with one hand. People might used to do that every day easily in a mechanical way. Yet, it is a problem for some, I think it becomes a problem when one thinks it is. It is not funny to say that it needs some confidence … yes, some confidence and speed as the instructions stated.

Unlike the video title “how to crack an egg with one hand”; the ingredients says: Eggs, is there any difference? The video explains. The equipment: A bowl and Just one hand, that is funny.

The steps are; to hold the egg across your fingers, ends pointing outward, not towards your fingertips; swiftly rap the egg on the countertop, just enough to crack the shell through, but not hard enough to crush the egg. Over a bowl, use your thumb to pull half of the shell away. Think of the egg as if it had a hinge in the center. Pull half the shell away on that hinge, and let the yolk and white drop out into the bowl.

Once again, confidence and speed are the most important parts of this little technique. Also, practice makes perfect; try doing this each time you crack an egg for a recipe, and see how quickly you’ll master it.
