  • i've made a commitment to read everything amy wrote/writes but oh em gee, the videos are a bonus =)

  • Funny, I have been cracking against the lip of the fry pan for years without getting shell in my food. When I try this new improved way on the flat counter, it is much more difficult and results in shell pieces in my food. Not for everyone I guess.

  • What do you do when you only need one egg?

  • I think velvetjones' grandmother is brilliant. Too bad I already had breakfast, I'm itching to try it already.

  • CHOW. You have to try My Grandmother's Egg Cracking Technique (it is Unstoppable).

    She cracks one egg on the other. Has only had both break once. Its genius and it doesn't leave an eggy mess anywhere.
