I eat fried eggs every day and the description here is baffling (if less so than how people apparently use dishwashers). Eggs are a great food. Maybe you are bad at cooking and refusing to think about it and instead seeking out quick fixes.
You shouldn’t have any egg shells in your eggs: cracking eggs is easy. If you have some sort of egg-shattering problem, have you invested 1 minute of deliberate practice into mindfully cracking eggs and getting better at it? (For another 5 minutes, you can learn to crack eggs one-handed as well—it’s not nearly as difficult as it looks.) Equipment? It’s the eggs, the frying pan, and perhaps some oil. Cleanup should take seconds if you have a working frying pan—the idea of it being an ordeal that can only be done on vacation days is baffling and makes me wonder what you are doing. We’re talking cleaning off the oil and a few stray bits of egg, not repainting the house or hand-forging heirloom cast-iron dishes.
One concrete advice on cracking eggs with two hands: try to pull your thumbs in opposite directions as if you wanted to tear the egg in halves (as opposed to pushing them in).

There might have been some irony in the article. But good tips!
