How to separate the yolk from the protein of an egg at home

We use eggs in many recipes. Often they are added whole, and sometimes you need to know how to properly separate the yolk from the protein in a raw egg. There are several interesting ways to do this neatly.

Of course, you can use a special separator device to easily separate eggs into whites and yolks. And you can separate the protein with the help of egg shell halves. To do this, the yolk must be shifted several times at an angle from one shell to another. In this case, the protein flows into the bowl, and the yolk remains in the shell. You can separate the yolk by pouring the egg into your hand. The protein will flow out between the fingers, and the yolk will remain in the hand. This is one of the most popular ways to separate the white from the yolk.

But when you need to quickly separate a lot of yolks from proteins, it is better to use a plastic bottle. To do this, just bring the neck of the bottle to the yolk, squeeze the bottle slightly and press the neck to the yolk. The bottle itself will draw the yolk into itself, and the protein will remain on the plate. Such a life hack will help you very quickly separate a lot of yolks from proteins. The bottle method is quite new, but already quite popular.
