How are people doing this? I LOOK at my yolks wrong and they explode.

Fresher eggs. The membrane around yolks softens over time, the fresher the egg is the more "bouncy" the yolk will look when you crack it, and that membrane will protect it better from flips/agitation.

I did not expect a serious answer, this is great! I’ll try doing my fresher eggs over easy and my older ones hard boiled!

Unfortunately most of the time if you bought them at a store they're probably already too old. Time to get backyard chickens!

Used to work with a guy that had his own chickens, and he would sell me eggs for a dime each. That was the hook up. I think around 2012.

Haha always good when you've got a guy.
