How To Crack an Egg

My son and husband were debating this morning about the best way to crack an egg.

My son's preferred method is to crack it on the edge of a bowl, to create a large opening so he can quickly split open the shell and dump the contents into the bowl.

My husbands preferred method is to hit it on a flat surface, like the counter, and then split the shell. He argues that doing it this way lessens the possibility of cracking shell bits into the egg.

What they both agree on though, is that to crack the egg, you can't hold back in either method. You have to make the commitment, and follow through at the start. No half measures in egg cracking.
