This is a belter and it is so so simple.

separating egg yolks

For when you need just yolks, or just whites, you have to separate the two – how…?

Have you tried the hand technique, the fork technique, or any other technique? It is tough and sometimes messy.

Here it is made extremely simple.

Take a clean plastic bottle, crack all your eggs in to a bowl. Squeeze the plastic bottle to expel some of the air, place the open bottle top on top of the egg yolk and release the bottle. This causes air to rush back in to the bottle and, hey presto, the egg yolk all on it’s own.

Yep that is it. Repeat with all the other yolks. You will be left with a plastic bottle full of yolks and a bow of whites.

Simply amazing!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
