Simple. Go to Walmart and buy the little contraption that serperates the yolk from your white, it costs like 1.49

Or you could break the egg shell in half and pour it back and forth from half to half, this will keep the yolk in the shell and white will overflow out of the shell, this is the poor man's way to do it, however if you want to go spend a buck-fiddy on something you are likely not to use, and will probably not work as well, then feel free.

What veenee said is how I do it when I need egg whites for cooking. I didn't know they sold lazy tools for that shit.

perhaps that's what he's doing and it's not going well?

i know the only time i ever tried to separate eggs i ended up breaking the yolks into the whites anyway :rofl: then again i'm a terrible cook.

Use your fingers. Crack the egg into your hand and let the whites ooze through the cracks in your fingers into a bowl and then put the yoke in another bowl for use later.

I kinda figured he was using the shell method which is why I suggested the tool.

ahhh.... brilliant techniques everyone... I was putting the entire egg in a bowl and trying to get the yolk out with a fork. It didn't work very well and the screaming didn't help either.

That is the easiest way to seperate an egg. Also makes it easier to get rid of the little white tentacles on the yolk at the same time since your hands are already covered with albumen.

I'm afraid to say this was true... My roomate actually asked me when I was going to be done swearing at those eggs.

While I'm pretty much king-pirate at most things, I'm but a lowly deckhand in the kitchen.

I jsut got a vivid mental image of Ralf standing over a bowl trying to fish yolks out of it with a fork and screaming FARKING SHAT! about every 30 seconds

Pure comedy gold :rofl:

Maybe if you are as inept as you say in the kitchen you would be better off buying the yolkless eggs in the carton.

The good news is that you can learn to make omelettes with what you have been cursing at for the last few days....

Yes you can buy egg whites- they are usualy in w/ the eggs, they are sold more often than not in a container that looks a bit like a milk carton.

godamn grocery store treachery. WHAT KIND OF DUMBSHIT invented eggs when you could buy them in the carton the whole fucking time!

I think I saw some today... Egg beaters I believe... I'm gonna buy like 4 cartons and then nuke those remaining eggs in the microwave until they explode.... as punishment of course.
