Never. Just use a pair of teaspoons to
separate the embryo when it has visible
blood. The white part will dissappear
when the clear 'whites' cook around it.

On the rare occasion I've had a piece
of shell, scoop it out with the
shell half in your hand.

I find that pushing anything into
the white causes the shell to 'avoid'
the intruder when you try to get behind it.
It is much easier to push a finger directly
onto the shell fragment until it is pinned
against the inside of the ramekin wherein
it is easy to slide it out.

Also, a spoon (or your finger) will never
break up into additional shell fragments.
