Good video. Friendly tip for you : Let the room temp egg drop from 6 inches onto something wood. I like to use a bamboo cutting board and then immediate hot wash it after all the shells are cracked. You'll get so good at this after two eggs you'll never tap an egg again. If you use a second person it's much faster and safer. Helper never touches egg shells and chef never touches yolk parts. Salmonella is painful and 500 million eggs were just recalled so always use care with eggs.

wow, this is really complicated for something that is relatively simple to do

utter nonsense. a little yolk doesn't matter. it still whips up perfectly. granted, it might take longer. now, a whole yolk can and will matter. but a little bit shouldn't bother you. so throwing out the lot, when there's a speck of yolk in it... that's just stupid and wasteful.

way too messy a method. srsly.

just eat those eggs the normal way. exercise and keep an active lifestyle so you dont have to go through all this trouble of separating. its no way to enjoy an egg.

Yikes. The whole "yolk contamination" thing is overblown. You read it in a book or saw it on TV no doubt. If you get some yolk in the whites, just scoop it out with a spoon. A little bit will not mess up anything. A better tip is to chill those room temperature beaters and mixing bowl you have there. Warm utensils will hurt a lot more than a tiny bit of yolk. Two bowls: One for whites, one for yolks. Use the tool of your choice - done.

Cross contaminate? Just wash your hands!

Thank you for the video. I separate my eggs this way (but not with 3 bowls) all the time because I find it the fastest. However, I think 3 bowls is a great tip for the beginning baker!

This method is far easier and faster than the shell method. Worried about contamination? Wash hands, crack and separate your eggs, then wash again immediately. Simple.

o.O

That's why Europeans laugh at Americans =D

Dude, You must of have lots of free time that You have no idea, how to waste.

tip: shell mathod. -.-

looks like a 3 year old kid playing in the kitchen. this video is realy useless. if u have 'fresh eggs' the yellow part will still diverge. i expected there was a trick to avoid that (exept of using old eggs)

[XXXCitizenX]

really wonder how people survived the last thousand years, if i showed that to my grandma she'd have an heartattack ... three bowls and half the eggwhite in the hand ?! powdered egg for food safety ?! you cant be serious, we just use the eggs like updowngroupfood describes it or if you are experienced you make it with one hand, crack it and let the eggwhite run out

[phototristan]

The pros just crack all the eggs into one bowl and then gently reach in and grab the yolks out. Easy, quick and it works.

The shell method works well too. I've never see a more inefficient way than yours to do this job.

If you use the shell method you only need two bowls. You also don't have to wash the white off your hands. If you do break the yolk it breaks in the shell and you can just throw it out. Also since your hands are not covered in egg white it is harder to cross contaminate other food items or equipment with bacteria from the raw egg. If you are making an icing that calls for raw egg white (Icing) that will be served to kids - substitute a product with powdered egg to ensure proper food safety.
