I’m not sure how the kitchen staff do it but I did have to sack one last week, due to there being a piece of shell in my morning poached egg. You don’t seem to be able to get the standard of staff these days, is it because of brexit ?

Neither

Hold the egg in one hand,use your thumb to put pressure on the middle and use your fingers to pull it apart.

A firm whack usually does the trick for me

"Eggs (what else could I possibly have been on about).

Do you give yours a light tap to break them or, a much firmer whack on the side of a bowl/pan.

I seem to find a little firmness stops any unwanted shell falling in. "

I'm prefere more of a warm up, tapping lighter to begin with, then more of a whack later on
