I had a couple of chips in a shake today and was surprised how easily my teeth ground it up.  They say you're suppose to bake them to kill any bacteria, but I drink raw eggs so if I was gonna get sick I probably would have already. A half of shell has a lot of calcium.

Just bits and pieces here and there.

Still kicking tho.

Aww heck no! 
Nothing causes me to lose my appetite quicker than to bite into an eggshell. One crunch and that meal is over, finished, kaput, done. 

Our dog gets a big dose of ground up eggshells in every batch of her homemade food. I found I can't grind them fine enough for human consumption even using a Vitamix. I added some to a bowl of ground beef once and it was TOO crunchy while eating 😂

Well remember not to lemme cook eggs when I come over.

I constantly have pieces in my eggs but never stopped me from finishing my meal 🤣

I've seen on Youtube if you crack your eggs with the back of a knife instead of the bowl edge, that is supposed to help make a clean break in the shell. I have never tried it though, so ...........

Hey nothing beats shells when you crave something crunchy😁

I just learned this too, just in the past year! I crack them against the counter or another flat surface. When you do it on the edge of the bowl it shoves eggshells inside, but not so on a flat surface I have also learned that if you lightly crack the eggs on the fat end just before boiling they are much easier to peel.

I do my hard boiled eggs in my instapot and they will peel like a dream every time. high pressure for 8 minutes, then 8 minutes natural release, then into cold/ice water for 8 minutes. Just made a batch about 10 minutes ago for our homemade dog food and my wife said "wow, do these peel easy".

I use instant pot for 8 minutes too, but I try to quick release. The cracked eggs "eggspan", but then contract in the ice water. Sometimes they blow up, but I just eat the one or two that do right off.
