#separating eggs

[dinosaurwithablog]

I shared my ricotta cheese gnocchi recipe with a friend, and when they saw that it only used the egg yolks, they said it was too hard to make. A second person said this to me. They both had no idea that you didn't have to use the egg shells to separate eggs. Just crack the egg and put it gently into your hand, spread your finger to let the egg white fall through, and place the yolks in a bowl. You can even remove the weird white thingie as you do this. I thought I'd share this with you guys, just in case you didn't know this. Happy cooking and bon Appétit 😋 😍

Been watching The Hours lately, and all I can think of is Helen Mirren's character baking:

Computer, enhance:

I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS A WAY TO SEPARATE EGGS!!!

So far I always used the eggshell halves to drain the egg white from the yolk. But thanks to Wikipedia ('cause of course there's a whole Wiki article on separating eggs) I now know more.

And now, of course, I'm curious:

How do y o u separate eggs?

I strain the yolk with my fingers. Just like Meryl.

I cradle the yolk from egg shell half to egg shell half.

I use a tool, like a pro (egg separator, funnel, etc.).

I just... don't.

I only bake with vanilla extract. / I just want to get my hands on the results.

SEPARATING EGGS - A NEAT TRICK

Really nice recipes. Every hour.

"I know lots of people are scared of separating eggs, but it's kind of like your kid choking on something or getting an epidural during labor - you just figure out what to do (well, hopefully you're not doing your own epidural, but you're just so darn grateful to get the drugs that you don't mind asking for a giant needle in your spine) and then realize it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be."

Tip of the day:

If you need to separate eggs, set up a funnel in a bowl and then crack the eggs into it. The whites will go through, but the yolks won't. Then just pour the yolks into a separate bowl (or throw them out if you aren't planning to use them for anything). Pretty awesome. Seen it on Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee.
