It can be difficult to remove the shell from an egg.The first thing to do when opening an egg is to use a spoon, knife, or egg cutting instrument.Use a spoon to separate the egg from the shell.The process is cleaner and simpler if you use a spoon or egg topper.
Step 1: To lightly tap the top of the egg, use an egg spoon or a kitchen spoon.
Some people think it's easier to open the narrow end of the egg.The egg can be opened from either end with a spoon or knife.
Step 2: The top of the egg needs to be cracked.
The purpose is to weaken the entire top part of the shell.The top should crack all the way around.
Step 3: The shell can be lifted with a spoon or your fingers.
The shell will be loosened.You might need to push the spoon under the shell to remove it.
Step 4: The butter knife can be used to hit the top of the egg.
The knife is more likely to go all the way through if you hit the narrow end instead of the wide end.You could cut yourself with a sharp knife, so make sure to use a butter knife.
Step 5: If the shell is not completely loosened, hit the other side of the egg.
Light strokes are used this time.The top part of the egg should be separated from the shell by the knife.
Step 6: The shell should be lifted with the knife or fingers.
The knife method is similar to cutting the shell, as opposed to using a spoon to crack it.As you lift the shell off, make sure to keep the egg steady.
Step 7: The narrow end of the egg is where the loop of egg topper is located.
The kind of egg cutter that ends in a loop has scissor-like handles.The loop is similar to a circle.If you use it on the wide end, it will cut into the egg rather than the shell, so it's important to place it around the narrow end.
Step 8: The handles have to be squeezed together to cut the shell.
You can twist the loop around the egg as you please.twisting the loop around the egg helps the blades cut the shell cleanly.As you squeeze the blades, you can twist the egg slightly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.Both methods will help to cut the shell.
Step 9: Remove the instrument from the egg.
The top 1/2 inch of the egg is cut off.The shell could come off with the instrument or remain on the egg.Use a spoon or your fingers to remove it from the egg.
Step 10: The end of the egg should be placed over the bowl of topper.
They look like metal plungers.It can be placed over the narrow or wide end of the egg.The bowl needs to fit over the end.
Step 11: Pull the handle up and let it go.
It will snap back downward once you release it.There is a circle around the top of the egg.The top of the building should be lifted away.
Step 12: Remove the shell by lifting the top of the machine.
The top part of the egg will be loose.All the way through it, the topper cuts cleanly.You can remove it with a spoon.
Step 13: You can put a spoon in between the egg and the shell.
If you have an egg spoon, you can use it.The curve of the spoon should follow the egg's curve.Push it downward.
Step 14: All the way around the egg, slowly slide the spoon.
The body of the egg can be loosened away from the shell.Don't break the egg itself.The spoon may cause some large cracks in the shell, which is fine.
Step 15: Take the egg out of the shell and put it on a plate.
If you attempt to further crack the shell into small pieces, particles may attach to the egg.The egg is soft boiled, so transfer it quickly.
