Can you crack an egg 1 handed?

[browneyes]

I can't. My kids were watching some Disney movie (Eddie's Big Cookoff or something like that). The title character couldn't break an egg one handed. I realized I'm inept about that too. I tried and I got more shell than egg in my bowl. What technique am I missing out on in order to do that?

about the only thing I could do one handed is go the bathroom

Well thats something I've always wanted to know about you Jason!

Nope Shannon can't do it, would end up like you, more shell than actual egg in the bowl. I can hardly cook anything anyway...LOL!

Is there another way?

I can crack an egg with one hand...and am pretty good at it....I think my mom taught me ages ago. My kids get a kick out of it

Is there any other way to crack an egg??? LOL. Really, I can't do it very well 2 handed. Tried to show 6 DD how to crack one the other day and I guess I've done it one handed way too long

Glad to hear that Pop Daddy, after all you need the other hand for your sandwich.

I was taught to crack eggs one-handed. The only reason I use two hands is if I'm separating the eggs.

I can crack an egg with one handle and I can also juggle, though sadly not when I'm cracking the egg!!!

 

[Grog]

Yep. Been doing it as long as I can remember

 

[powellrj]

thats one of my hidden talents! I think I learned from Jeff Smith...the Frugal Gourmet guy that use to be on TV.

I thought this thread was going to be about the fact that you can't squeeze an egg with one hand and break it.

Uhm, thats untrue. Bunch of friends tried it one night and two guys successfully broke eggs. Landed all over me.

I can crack an egg with one hand. I like to keep the other hand clean so I don't spread egg germs.

 

[aprincessmom]

yes

 

[JAP]

Yep!!

 

[Lanshark]

Yep!

 

[browneyes]

What am I doing wrong since I get so much shell in my bowl? Too much pressure, too little pressure?

 

[Mom2Em]

YEP!... can do...
