There Is Only One Way to Separate the Egg, and Here It Is.
This sparked a heated debate in the Lifehacker offices.
We all agreed that there was no need to buy an egg separator, and the fun trick of sucking the yolk out of an empty bottle isn’t really an everyday solution. Some employees feel that the shell should be split in half and the egg yolk must be passed between the shells.
After many tests and a lot of broken yolks, I can officially state that the easiest and fastest way to separate an egg is to simply scoop up the yolk with your bare hands . Watch the video above for the correct method.
And if germs bother you at all, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after. You might think the eggshell is cleaner … but do you know where it was?
