Capturing egg shells

Since this month many of you will probably be using lots of eggs for cooking and baking, I thought that I’d share an interesting factoid about eggshells with you. Inevitably someone asks me how to get broken pieces of eggshells out of the bowl after they’ve cracked an egg. The best way, in my opinion, is to use another piece of shell to attract the stray piece. One piece of cracked egg shell acts like a magnet and attracts other pieces.
