Does the idea of separating eggs make you a little nervous? Have no fear my friends, I want to show you how to separate egg whites from yolks with two different ways you can do it!
Carefully but firmly crack the egg on the counter or table that you're working on. Try to be firm enough that you only need to do it once because the more you hit the egg against the surface, the more of a chance you have of breaking the yolk.
Once its cracked enough, slowly and carefully begin to separate both halves of the shell over one of the bowls. As you do this, the white will begin to drain over the sides of the shell into the bowl.
As you separate the shells, keep the yolk in one of the halves of the shell.
Once the shells are fully separated, pass the yolk back and forth between both shell halves being careful not to break the yolk. As you do this, the white will drain out into the bowl until you're left with the yolk.
Method 2:
Carefully but firmly crack the egg on the counter or table that you're working on. Try to be firm enough that you only need to do it once because the more you hit the egg against the surface, the more of a chance you have of breaking the yolk.
Place one of your hands over a bowl with your palm facing up and your hand creating a bit of a cup.
Using your other hand, carefully open the egg so that both the yolk and the white go into your hand, trying not to break the yolk.
Move your fingers slightly apart so that the egg whites drain out into the bowl but the yolk stays in.
Do this until the white has fully drained and you're left with only the yolk.
Notes
If you're starting method 1 and you end up cracking your egg in a way that makes it so that one half of the egg is in a really small piece, you can pour the egg into your hand and begin method 2.
