How to separate an egg?

There 2 different methods to separate the egg yolk from the egg white:

• The Shell-to-Shell method, in which you move the yolk back and forth between the 2 halves of the broken egg. 
• The Hand method is in which you let the egg white fall between your fingers.

Shell-to-Shell method:

1. Crack the eggshell and open the egg over a bowl.
2. Pass the yolk from shell to shell until all the white falls out of the shells and into the bowl. 
3. Slip the egg yolk into another bowl.

Hand Method:

1. This method requires impeccably clean hands. 
2. Crack and open the egg, holding the halves in your hand with your fingers slightly splayed.
3. Let the whites fall through between your fingers into a bowl.
4. If you are separating a lot of eggs, you can work over 2 small bowls, one for the whites and another for the yolks.
5. Transfer the contents to larger bowls every few eggs. This way if you break a yolk into the whites, you don’t ruin the whole batch.
