While all these benefits are about having an egg, our article is more about using egg white instead. So, let’s begin by learning how to separate the egg yolk from the white.

 

How To Separate Egg White

Separating by Hands

This one is one of the easiest methods of separating the yolk from the whites. Before you begin, make sure your hands are clean.

1. Take the required eggs from the fridge and set up three bowls.
2. The two extra bowls are to crack the egg on the bowl on one and in the other one keep the yolk and the white.
3. This method is the simplest because it requires you to take the egg in your hand and then simply let the whites slip into one of the bowls.
4. You will have the yolk in one hand!

Using a Bottle to Separate the Yolk and Egg White:

1. Simply crack an egg into one of those bowls and take a plastic bottle to separate the two.
2. Now take the plastic bottle and place it on top of the yellow of the egg.
3. Gently push the bottle and slowly start releasing it. This might need a little practice but as soon as you do it, the egg yolk will be sucked into the bottle!

Nifty trick- isn’t it?
