Cracking eggs on the mixing bowl

A lot of people cracked eggs on the rim of a mixing bowl. And the eggs were often perfectly cooked. However, this is an egg mistake you probably didn't even realize you were making. If you're not supposed to crack eggs in the mixing bowl, where should you crack them? Simple. On the kitchen counter. According to The New York Times, this prevents bacteria from entering the bowl, which is especially important if you mix other ingredients in your egg bowl.

It's also possible that eggshell fragments will end up in the bowl. Furthermore, cracking eggs in a bowl can cause the yolk to break. If you want to avoid bacteria, broken shells, and possibly fractured egg yolks, a flat surface is the best place to crack your eggs. Nonetheless, there have undoubtedly been worse food crimes.
