[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.
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
