Here's an easy technique for separating egg whites from the yolks.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1 minute
Here's How:
- Set out 2 bowls, a cup, and the eggs you'll be separating.
- Crack one egg by gently rapping the side on a flat surface, like the countertop next to the bowl.
- Turn the cracked egg upright over the cup, holding the bottom of the egg with one hand.
- Gently remove the top part of the egg with the other hand by lifting at a sideways angle as if it were hinged, letting the excess white spill into the cup.
- Very carefully move the yolk from one shell half to the other, letting the excess white spill into the cup. Repeat until only the yolk is left, taking care not to pierce the yolk or let any yolk get into the white.
- Place the yolk in one of the bowls.
- Transfer the white from the cup to the other bowl.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Tips:
- If you drop a piece of shell into the cup or bowl, scoop it out with a larger piece of egg shell.
