I never really thought about my one-handed cracking technique being something that would get people talking. When I started showing baking and cooking with eggs and cracked them into the bowl, many people would commment and ask “how do you do that one-handed!?”
Obviously I can’t give a proper step by step without a video, so check it out below to see my technique that gets me a 90% success rate of having a totally intact yolk cracking one handed. When you’re getting used to it, I suggest using a bowl separate from your recipe until you get a feel for it. If it doesn’t work out the first few tries, scrambled eggs for everyone! 😉

I worked at a bakery for many years. I am an expert at cracking two eggs at a time. One in each hand! A real time saver when you have dozens and dozens to crack!
I bet! That’s awesome!
Mrs Kringle, that was soooo fun! I’ve never tried it, though when I’ve seen someone on television do it, I’ve intended to, but then forgot. Anyway … will definitely try it tomorrow!
LOL, thanks! I never thought about it but so many people asked how I do it that I figured someone out there might find it helpful!
What a fun skill to cultivate! I’m looking forward to teaching my grandson how to crack an egg, and to the fun of cooking together!
There’s nothing better than cooking with grandma! Have fun!
thank you for sharing this tip it is one that I could have used many times in the past and plan to use in the future as well
Thank you! I have tried to learn this on my own, but did not know the secret.
Rounded edges just seem to work better for me. I hope they work for you too!
I have never mastered this technique! Thanks for sharing your tutorial with us at The Blogger’s Pit Stop! Roseann from http://www.thisautoimmunelife.com
I honestly never noticed I did it until people started pointing it out to me so slowing it down to see how I do it was interesting! LOL
I’ve never tried that. Although my dad was a Chef in the Army (well someone had to do it hehehe), and he was a great cook. My dad cracked eggs with one hand also. Although I’ve never tried it… maybe it’s time. ~hehehe~ GET THE MOP!!!
LOL, I bet you’ll do better than you think!
Well now I’m going to start practising!
Your next brunch party trick! 😀
This is a great tip not just for looking cool, but for separating eggs with two fairly even halves. Thanks so much for sharing!
It also comes in handy if you’re making quiche or something needing a ton o’ eggs relatively quick! 😉
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing it with us at the Homestead Blog Hop!
You’re very welcome!
