One of the first kitchen skills we learn as children is how to crack an egg. After all, those boxed brownie mixes need a little yolk action to work their magic.
Yet for many of us, it feels as though we’ve barely improved our egg-cracking skills since childhood. Whether you marvel at the people who manage to do it one-handed or see a shellless bowl as an impossible goal, you’re not alone.
We’ve rounded up 19 relatable and, dare we say, egg-cellent tweets about this common cooking step. Try not to crack up too much.

For the life of me, I cannot master the art of cracking an egg using one hand without making a huge mess. The yolk’s on me

Feeling badass after cracking eggs with one hand quickly subsided after spilling scrambled eggs on my laptop.

Been making a cake with 6yo and 2yo and I let them crack the eggs straight into the mixing bowl so I guess you can say danger is my middle name

What I say: We need to crack 2 eggs.

Before I crack an egg, I always listen to it for scratching sounds, just to make sure I am not hatching a baby chick on accident.

My tact is comparable to a toddler cracking eggs and "helping" bake.
