When making egg dishes or desserts, you usually crack the eggs into a bowl before proceeding. However, many people have likely encountered a minor issue when cracking eggs: finding that eggshell fragments have fallen into the mixture after cracking. Sometimes, they’re difficult to remove, especially if the fragments are small. Today, we’ll share a super simple method to quickly remove broken eggshells!

Quickly Remove Broken Eggshells

Step 1: Wet your index finger under the tap.

Step 2: Dip your wet index finger into the egg mixture and touch the eggshell.

Step 3: Once your index finger touches the eggshell, pull it back up the same way it came. Once you’ve removed it from the egg mixture, you’ll find that the eggshell fragments have been removed along with your index finger!

Eggshell fragments can sometimes be difficult to remove from the egg mixture due to the surface tension of the egg. However, water has a stronger surface tension, so wetting your finger allows you to quickly remove the fragments.

If eggshell fragments fall into the egg mixture, you can use the eggshell to scoop them out. It’s easy and convenient.
