[CW: kitchen eggs]
Image description: a tumblr post (made by crusader-kings) asking about how to crack eggs, (the ones laid by chickens, not trans eggs) with a tag (added by homura) responding with ‘i tell him he’s pretty and start calling him my wife’
I apologize for the bad image description, this is not my area of expertise.
Chefs like to crack an egg on a flat surface, because it supposedly prevents pieces of the shell to get in the egg. But so far I haven’t found out how to do this without it getting messy.
You’re probably doing it too hard. Done lightly enough, it will crack the shell without splitting the membrane underneath, leaving a “crater” in the surface of the shell. Then you can push a thumb into the crater to open it once the egg is over the bowl
I once cracked a hard-boiled egg to use it for a sandwich at dinner. Like, slamming it on the table, because why not.
It was not in fact hard-boiled.
I had raw egg all over everything. Everything
The edge of whatever container you intend to put the eggs in is the only way to go.
i used to crack eggs on my forehead for teh lulz
// edit
also sometimes used the knuckles of my fist, which works better, but less lulz
I use a knife to crack the eggs in the middle, seems weird I know but it works very well for me and doesn’t leave shell fragments. You don’t need a very sharp knife, just needs to be sharper than a butter knife.

I think a generalized description like yours is more often used for screenshots of image posts. For text posts, it’s more common to transcribe the actual text of the post. Something like:
