I can break eggs equally well with either hand so when I have to break
many I do two at a time... actually when I have a slew of eggs to
crack I pick up two with each hand, I can crack eggs almost faster
than the eye can see (I've had lots of practice on the taxpayer's
dime). I'm used to cracking eggs on the cooking surface (think large
griddle). But at home I crack eggs on the countertop... I drop the
eggs one at a time into a small bowl to be sure they are not rotten...
it's very rare I find a rotten egg but like once every five years I do
find one, I'm not going to crack eggs directly into a bunch of
ingredients.
