A few years back, I was a line cook for Denny's. Busiest day of the year was always Mother's Day. Shortly after Denny's introduced the Grand Slam Breakfast (I did say a few years back) I worked Monther's Day on the egg station. In 8 hours, I did eggs for 344 Grand Slams and 45 omlettes. Total: 803 eggs.

So I got pretty good at cracking with one hand.

The only point I'll add: Crack on a flat surface like the counter, not a bowl or pan edge. It yields fewer small egg shells shards to fish out.

PS: I also got to the point I could shell 30 hard boiled eggs in under 30 seconds with a 2-handed shell technique.
