This morning as I was cooking breakfast for the girls I thought about something my sister told me.
(Thanks Nicole!!! You’re an egg (errr I mean life) saver!)
This is one of the BEST tips I have ever received and I had to share with y’all!
We LOVE scrambled eggs, but those tiny pieces of shell are the most difficult little things to get out of the egg white.
My sister told me to use the shell to scoop the broken pieces out.
The shell almost acts as a magnet, attracting the bits of shell to it.
The easiest, fastest, and cleanliest way to de-shell your eggs whites!
Tadaaaaa, it’s like magic.
.love.

*****EGG’TASTIC UPDATE*****
Several friends have mentioned cracking eggs on a flat surface.
So, yesterday I made an omelette with six eggs and cracked all of them on a flat surface…
I had ZERO eggshell pieces in my bowl.
I did have some egg white on my counter, but swiped it up with a little clorox. 🙂
Why didn’t I know about this before?
Don’t forget to feed your babies!
How did you get create your .gif so big?
Just in my ‘save for web’ settings!
Oh boy! Thank you for this, Arden!!! For decades, I’ve been unable to crack an egg without getting bits of shell in the bowl. And now I know there’s an easy solution. Clever 🙂

I know, it’s so frustrating!
🙂
One needs to be careful of eggshells as they carry bacteria if not thoroughly cleaned.
Oh great to know thanks!
Love this! This was one of the first baking secrets my mom taught me. 🙂 But ever since I started cracking my eggs on the flat part of of the counter-top, rather than the side of the bowl, I loose a lot less shell pieces in my eggs (or dough, or batter. 🙂 ).
Yes I just learned that too and added it as an ‘update!’ No shells on the flat crack.
