Thank you all for the good thoughts and prayers during these last few days of Hurricane hell! Thankfully, we are all safe and well. Our state had a lot of damage that really was expected to be worse, so all in all, we and Texas were fortunate. Although, we did end up with a casino riverboat thrown and now wedged under the Interstate 10 bridge. 😬

Gah! More bridges!

I don't know exactly when it started but all the sudden (last two months) I cannot crack an egg with out getting a few tiny fragments of shell in there. There is NOTHING worse than enjoying your beautifully whipped nice n creamy scrambled eggs and then getting a CRUNCH   We get our eggs in from a local farm so I thought it was the way they feed their birds but when I bought a dozen from the store I had the same result - CRUNCH. I'm trying various edges to crack on from bowls, pans, even ramekins and nothing helps. Also, somehow the yolk is almost always getting punctured when I release the contents from the shell to the whatever I'm putting it in but that's a another story.



@ShayP What's the deal, man?

I'm ready to give up and end it all. I don't want to live in a world that won't allow me two nicely cracked eggs daily.

I hear ya! Eggs also seem to be harder to peel when they are hard boiled now. That's why I sleep in late and don't have breakfast until after I've had a coffee first. Yes it's true, I have poultry issues. Wow, great to finally get that out!

If you would crack them on a flat surface as I showed you a year or so ago, you wouldn’t have this proble.

Always there to stick the dagger in just a little further..  you're consistent, I'll give you that!

ANNND @juan, aren't YOU the guy that thinks adding Velveeta to an omelette in place of actual CHEESE is socially acceptable?  I can find the quote if you need a refresher

[JUAN]

You mean this one?

I don’t eat omelettes because only two eggs are a waste of time, and I don’t eat cheese. Especially Velveeta.

You should have known me when I could remember absolutely everything.  I really pissed off people then.

@KSM32  Have you ever tried picking the fragments out of the eggs after you crack them and before you scramble them?   @juan has the right idea by cracking them on a flat surface.  Then just spread the shell open with your thumbs.  I'm quite certain you know how to spread something with your thumbs.

@ShayP

I keep a pair of tweezers in the kitchen now for just this purpose. Can provide pictures. Yes I CAN spread things very well with my thumbs, hips, tongue, cock, dink, prick, hog (Peace Hog) and nose. I'm THAT, good.

I'll try the countertop move tomorrow morning.

@ShayP

I keep a pair of tweezers...

Hopefully they are zircon encrusted tweezers.

The great Jacques Pepin shows you how to do it - he’s making poached eggs.
