Sara Moulton (I’m not sure if she is still on the show but she used to be on Food TV as a chef) does great job going back and forth between hands…one dry hand and the other one wet. I’m talking about the process of “flour–>egg–>panko(breading)”. For example, use your left hand for coating the food with flour, next use your right hand to coat in beaten egg, and then go back to your left hand to coat it with breading so your hands will not end up with looking like “the Hulk”:) I did such a terrible job doing it and had to wash my hands between shaping each croquette.
This recipe suggests to repeat the “flour–>egg” part two times so they will be less likely to fall apart while deep frying. I skipped that part because it was already messy enough. lol! Inside the croquettes are avocados, hard-boiled eggs, crab meat, salt&pepper, and lemon juice.
