Need to separate egg white from yolk?
It's true that it's essential for making a good mayonnaise or beating egg whites.
Here is a magic trick to do it without ever breaking the yolk.
All you need is a plastic bottle:
And in video, it looks like this:
1. Crack 1 egg into a bowl.
2. Take a large empty plastic bottle.
3. Squeeze the bottle with your hand to squeeze out as much air as possible.
4. While squeezing the bottle, put the neck of the bottle just on the egg yolk.
5. Then release the pressure exerted by your hand. The bottle re-inflates and sucks in the egg yolk.
6. Once the egg yolk has been sucked into the bottle, gently pour it into another bowl.
There you go, you have separated the white from the yolk of the egg easily :-)
The advantage of this trick is that you don't waste egg whites and you don't get your hands dirty.
Attention, with a small bottle, it is less easy. Get a big one so it works every time.
If you don't have a bottle on hand, know that you can get an egg yolk separator here.
