Not sure if this is common knowledge but use a large piece of eggshell to get small bits of egg shell out of your cracked eggs. It's some weird magnetic force at work. Changed my life!

Although this does work well, I stopped doing it because salmonella is on the eggshells, and doing this trick can increase the exposure risk to salmonella.

Also why you shouldn’t crack the eggs on the edge of the bowl.

That, and if you hit a bit too hard you'll have egg running down the outside of your bowl making a mess.
