Break an egg into a bowl or a frying pan... It would seem to be the simplest culinary action...

However, oddly enough, almost all cooks make mistakes when doing it: even the most experienced ones.

It turns out that you can't use a knife. Also, you need a separate container.

So, what mistakes do almost all people make when breaking eggs? This was told by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.

It turns out that there is no need to use this tool.

Moreover, the blade can break off sharp pieces from the shell. The latter can get right into the white of the raw egg.

In addition, using a knife can result in dangerous microorganisms entering the product.

You shouldn't break an egg on the edge of a dish either. Oddly enough, the best option is to use some flat surface. For example, you can simply break the product on the table.

Dropping the egg directly into the frying pan

Give up the habit of immediately putting the egg into the main dish.

After all, it is possible that it will turn out to be rotten.

If a bad egg gets mixed with good ones, you'll have to throw everything away.

First, make sure the product is fresh by breaking the egg into a separate container (such as a cup or a small bowl).

Are the whites and yolks okay? Are they normal colors? Is there an unpleasant smell? Then feel free to mix this egg with others!
