Most people crack eggs on the edge of the pan or with a knife when frying them. The same is done when you need to beat a raw egg.
But the chefs insist that the right way is neither this way nor that way, that is, not with a knife or on a bowl.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-category baker told how to break eggs correctly and safely.
About the edge of the dish
The egg may be spoiled and then you can ruin everything in the bowl.
Also, a piece of shell can end up in food, and only a few people wash their eggs before cooking them.
With a knife
This is also not ideal. You can hit it so hard that the white and yolk mix. It is not essential for an omelet or fried eggs, but in other cases it matters.
How professionals operate
The egg is hit on any surface and then its contents are poured into a separate bowl.
If the contents are in order, then they are poured into the main ingredients.
By the way, this makes it much easier to remove any shells that accidentally end up in the bowl.
And if the egg turns out to be spoiled or there are doubts about its freshness, then it can be thrown away.
For reference
Eggs are a common food item, with chicken eggs being the most popular to eat, although any bird egg can be eaten by humans.
