Removing Egg Yolks
Egg separation has long been the curse of the protein minded. Thank goodness for the appearance of those cartons of
pasteurized egg whites – they’re a real convenience. Yet they are a bit pricier and many decide to stick with
the tried and true whole eggs. Of course, this entails yolk removal. Here are a few removal strategies.
First, for bulk removal, simply crack as many eggs as you want into a bowl, being careful not to break the yolks. Then simply fish out the yolks with a spoon.
For individual removal, you can crack the egg, keeping its contents in one half of the egg shell. Then, pour some of the white out into a bowl or pan, making sure that you’ve got the other half of the shell next to the first half to catch the yolk. Go back and forth between halves until all the white is in your bowl or pan and the yolk is captured nicely in your egg shell.
