The egg thing worked 1/3 times and it was awesome despite the mess. Thanks for sharing it, blessed cooking!
Great, you're welcome! It took a few tries for me too to figure out how to do it without just smashing eggs all over the table.
I originally came across it from videos where they actually dropped the egg on the table, from increasingly greater heights, and it always seemed to just work. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me find the video. There are plenty of videos though where they just drop the egg straight into the pan and then pick up the shell halves. But I feel like that only works if you plan on frying just one or two eggs.
Anyway, I've noticed that my aim and hands are not quite that adept at getting it to fall right if I just drop it, so I googled a bit more and came across videos (like one from Real Simple channel) where they tapped the egg against a flat surface and got essentially the same effect. And yeah, it's still messy, but not as messy as all the times when I've cracked the egg against the edge of the bowl and then managed to fumble it into an explosion of egg where most of it is on the table, floor and myself and maybe a teaspoon of it made it into the bowl.
