This looks great and all, but another YouTube video says that when you crack the egg against the lip of the bowl, you create shell fragments.... So - maybe tho

  Both are right... it depends on so many factors. I've (subjectively?) found older eggs to create more shell fragments when cracked this way. The only hard truth is that the egg will break in whichever random way it wants to.

  Current top comment: >The only point I'll add: Crack on a flat surface like the counter, not a bowl or pan edge. It yields fewer small egg shells to fish out.

  The bowl in this video has a flat-ish rim so I expect that there’s no contention but an oversight of the video.
