How To Separate An Egg Yolk from White

With no special egg separator tool on hand, so trying to separate an egg using the old fashioned egg shell swishing back and forth is taking too much of my time and it can get messy. It also increases the chance of breaking the yolk then all efforts is lost! Onto the next egg. Buying an expensive gadget that separates the yolk from the white makes me grimace at the sight of the prices.  I came across a video on youtube that was fascinating, easy, and priceless to separate the egg yolk. Why didn't I think of it before!? This is a total blessing for making my job so much easier separating the egg yolk from the white without worrying on breaking. Attach is a youtube video link to this blog if you want to watch a video on how it works. All it takes is an empty water bottle. YES, you heard me, an empty water bottle. It does the trick!

First you need to buy a water bottle or any other types of bottle. Wash it first before use. Break an egg into a bowl. Unscrew the cap from the bottle. Squeeze the bottle first and then touch the yolk lightly with the tip of the bottle and loosen your grip on the bottle slowly and carefully until it sucks the yolk into the bottle. YAY! It's that simple. To get the yolk out of the bottle. Just squeeze the bottle gently to push it out of the bottle into a different bowl. You can wash the bottle again and store it for later uses time and time again. You can squeeze in and out many yolks in a bottle. It's designed to hold more than 1 yolk.
