NOTE: The video is NOT in English but you do not have to understand the words in order to WATCH how the separation is done in the video.


Edited to add (for the folks that are wondering why anyone would want to do this)

Some recipes call for 'only egg whites' or 'only egg yolks'.

When making Meringue for a pie one uses only the egg whites.

When making Hollandaise sauce for Eggs Benedict one uses only the yolks.

1. That's a cool trick

3. VERY cool!

I may have to try that the next time I make a chiles rellenos batter (which requires that the whites and yolks be beaten separately, then folded together).

4. I confess, I came in here planning to crack wise, but that is really

seriously cool! I've never in my life made anything that required separating eggs, but now I think I will (or else I'll just play next time I make scrambled eggs...)

5. OK-- that's cool. I thought that's what she was going to do but...

I thought the yolk would break.

I separate eggs a lot, and will try this next time.

6. I'm quite adept at separating eggs,

but going to try this just for the sake of trying it!

7. Fun with physics. Thanks for posting.

8. Saw that on Facebook

and used it making custard for peach ice cream base the other day. It really works and is a lot of fun ... well, I guess the fun wears off after a while, but I did it over and over with the same few eggs.

9. Okay, that looks like fun. I'll have to do that for the girls.

10. Good Technique.......

Will use

11. Thanks! My friend has 6 hens, and she gives us eggs

I'll email this video to her. She uses many egg recipes!

12. Very cool!

I have one of those plastic egg separator things, but this is way neater.



PS...you can use a plastic funnel, too

13. Cooking Magic!

I never separate eggs for waffles because I'm lazy. (You're supposed to stir the egg whites gently in as the last step before you pour them into the waffle maker.)

I'll have to try this.

[Moondog]

14. Yay! This actually works.

I love stupid tricks that actually work. Particularly ones that are useful. Like this is.

16. Cool!

Now I have to go buy some bottled water.
