As it turns out, this actually happens because we've been cracking eggs open wrong for our entire lives.
According to the Daily Meal, we shouldn't be smashing our eggs on the sides of bowls or pans.
When this happens, the egg's shell cracks open inwards, meaning that the little pieces of shell get themselves mixed in with the contents of the egg.
Instead, the Daily Meal says that we should be cracking our eggs open on flat surfaces like countertops.
They say:
"One sharp tap on a hard table is all it takes, compromising the integrity of the shell and allowing you to then drop the egg into an awaiting vessel."Then, supposedly, no rogue pieces of shell end up in our "vessel," which is, of course, good news for our morning omelette.
