Yes, many in a row at that! I got used to it when I used to make ice creams and custards, so many eggs!

If I don’t hold it and instead prop it on something else then yes. Otherwise no. :)
I’ll add I’ve never tried this though.

Yeah. I almost always get all the bits of shell out of the dough though... :oops:

Lol. I'm always fishing out bits of shell, too.

Wow, did you crack em one at a time, or one in each hand at the same time, or two in one or both hands at the same time?

Just for p0rn. :mrgreen:

... kidding

I have seen my FCD pics used around the Internet, sometimes by a vendor of FCDs.
This used to bother me.
Now I just smile, mutter Whatevs, and register the compliment.

I have never tried so I honestly don't know lol. I use 2 hands, but never get any shell in, so I consider it a win :lol:

2 in one hand one in the other.
I could never get the hang of 2 and 2 without getting shells in it.
I doubt I could do it today.

I hold the egg in one hand, hit it against the counter, then open it up with two hands.

So my answer is yes and no! :D

I'm impressed.
I never thought of you as a crack expert. :bigsmile:

Seriously though, kudos to you for doing good charity work. :clap:

Too pretty and useful for cracking
I brought an emu egg and drilled two holes in it to blow the egg so i could save the shell
....havn't quite worked out a use for it yet mind you

Okay, now you got me curious.
I'm gonna google up how to do it.

But I hate when some eggy slime drools like snot down the outside of the bowl. :knockout:
It take great care and more time to prevent this even when cracking one egg at a time.
I'd guess it's impossible to prevent some of that when cracking two at the same time.
