How to crack an egg

Step One: Grab egg firmly in hand. Your thumb, index, and middle finger will do all the work.

Step Two: Break exactly how you would a normal egg, on a flat surface, by applying swift force downward onto the center of the egg

*The arrows are indicating which direction the thumb and index finger should be pointing in order to properly crack open the egg.

Step Three: Position the egg over the skillet or bowl, and gently push up onto crack with thumb.

Step Four: Still applying pressure with your thumb, separate your thumb and middle finger so that the egg opens up and the inside falls out.
