How to Separate Eggs the Easy Way

I’m going to be honest. Usually when I separate eggs, I just use my hands. Yes, it’s true. I do wash them first, but I just think it’s easier and faster than using something else. However, I do know there are some people who just can’t handle weird stuff on their hands…..having a toddler rid me of any problems like that. Sometimes I use my handy-dandy egg seperator from Pampered Chef……but sometimes not. I think “do I want an extra dish to wash?”But, knowing I’m different than most and knowing that most people don’t have an egg separator, I thought I’d show you a handy trick for separating eggs. All it requires is a glass and a funnel. Please make sure the funnel has a small opening at the bottom. I tried it with a larger funnel and the yolk slipped right through it. Oops. You want it big enough for the white to get through but small enough for the yolk to stay. Clear as mud? Set your funnel over a glass, like shown.

Break the egg into the funnel. Now, you could just sit there and wait for action to happen, or you can get in a hurry like me and jiggle the funnel to help the white drop below. It works like a charm! However, I’ll probably just stick with my hand method.

    You can also separate eggs with an empty 20 ounce water bottle. Break your eggs into a bowl, squeeze some air out of the bottle, place the neck of the bottle on the whole egg yolk and release your squeeze on the bottle. The yolk will get sucked up in to the bottle, leaving the egg white behind (like a giant eyedropper). You can then use the whole clean yolk for something else. Using the water bottle method is clean and quick, and it amazes an audience.
