Egg separator

I use my hands but it took we a while to do that because I couldn't get over the feeling at first. Then I just got used to it.

But until then I used the egg separator from pampered chef (link below). Mine lasted for 10 years, so good quality. Never had problems with my egg yolk breaking (which seemed to happen to me with some other methods). It also has a curve in the handle so you can rest in a bowl or the side of the pan. It's helpful for people who need to use both hands to crack an egg but put it directly into the pan or bowl.

I've used some plastic ones before like the one from WalMart and one of the problems I had was the design because you get that part of the egg white that is like a "clump" I really don't know what it's called our anyway to describe it. but that part would be stuck in the separator because of the design (don't ask why because I don't know, maybe it was my eggs). But this pampered chef one never had that problem.

Also a little trick if you want to do the method using the shell back and forth. Hit the side of the egg on a flat surface (counter) not on the edge of the bowl. It will make a cleaner break and less like to get sharp pieces that can cause your yolk to break. I was doing it the other way for so long and was told to do it the other way...I was amazed!

There are many different things that work for others. Find what works for you and your needs.

Just use your hands. Easy as pie. The white slips through your fingers.

This is what I do.
