 How to properly crack an egg? Every egg cookery demonstration should include one example of the proper way to crack an egg. There are good ways, there are moderately acceptable ways, and there are bad ways to crack an egg. The correct way to crack open an egg is to start by cleaning your hands with hand sanitizer. Next, place the egg in one hand and use the back of a knife to gently crack halfway around the egg. Lastly, insert your fingers in the crack and carefully pull apart the shell. The moderately acceptable way to crack open an egg is to clean your hands with sanitizer and then gently tap the egg on a flat surface. Lastly, insert your finger in the crack and carefully pull apart the shell. The worst way to crack open an egg is to crack your egg on the edge of a bowl or pan and then insert your fingers in the crack and carefully pull apart the shell. Using easels and posters When you enter the presentation room you can position your easels wherever you want them. You can have both easels on one side of the table or on either side of the table. Be sure that your posters are in correct order when you put them on the easel. If you use two easels, move posters from one to the other as you finish them. If you just use one easel, move posters from the back and place them on the front. How to handle questions after your presentation is finished. After your demonstration you may receive questions from the judges or audience. When asked a question, first listen and then repeat the question back to the judge or audience member to be sure that you correctly heard what they were saying. Then answer the question if you can. If you don't know the answer, politely apologize and say that you will look up the answer and get back to them. Packing your ingredients and equipment It is important to plan ahead when packing items you will need to bring for your demonstration. Create a checklist of ingredients and equipment that you need to buy and pack for your demonstration. Find a cooler, piece of luggage or tote bag large enough for all the ingredients and equipment that you will need. Practice packing and walking around with your packed bag to be sure you can easily carry it.
