Kitchen Tips v7

When you make something that includes eggs do you just crack them right into your cookies, cake, whatever you are making?

Or do you crack them into a bowl first?

I know that you should do it in the bowl first, but maybe for convenience, or lack of thought I used to always just crack it right into my mix of whatever kind.  Then I was with a friend at a pampered chef party and as we were watching the lady make something she cracked an egg right into the bowl, and my friend says..."You should always cracks your eggs into a bowl first incase you need to grab a shell or something out before putting it into the mix."  I thought about this and thought I've done that before, heard it before, but don't always do it.  But I also have wondered about getting a shell in your dough and once you have it in with all the other stuff it's a lot harder to get out then if you put the egg in a little bowl first.

So now, I make sure to always put my eggs in a bowl first.  There will never be a chance of a shell or anything else icky in my food because of my eggs again!
