Anyone have any suggestions for a good egg separator, I.e. Separating egg white from egg yolk? Have one you love and recommend? Please post here for me. I don't need anything fancy, I'm just not good at doing this on my own, no matter how many YouTube videos I watch. Gracias!

Can you buy liquid egg whites?
I dont know, it's not that hard to just seperate them by hand with the shell. but if you're eating a ton of them i think it's better to just get liquid egg whites.0 -

I use my hands too.1 -
Nothing feels worse than separating eggs with your hands (I'm exaggerating but still mostly true). I second the liquid egg whites! I buy them to add to my eggs in the morning to bulk it up a bit.0

I crack the egg in half and pour it back and forth into the shell halfs until they separate. Easy peasy and free. Lol10

I use the egg shell by moving the yolk back and forth between egg shell halves until the whites have separated from the yolk.1

Walmart should have one fairly cheap. I can't separate eggs using the shells for shizzle. It's why my white cakes are always yellow.

I didn't use to be either, so you're not alone.Now most times I get it on first try but I typically eat the whole egg so I don't get much practice anymore.
I've seen egg separators at Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Bed Bath & Beyond (for only a couple dollars there too) etc.
I'd say even try checking out your thrift stores you could probably get one for less than $.50 .
Happy Hunting

I do the egg shell back and forth thing too. Of course, one has to be practiced enough to crack the egg cleanly instead of crushing the shell in to little bits.
Would a slotted spoon do the trick?1 -
You can use a water bottle too.

Just pick whatever the grocery store has on the shelf. It will work fine.1

I buy cartons of egg white on special and freeze them
I find the shell to shell method easy, that said I am so trying that water bottle thing0 -

magical, yet creepy all at the same time. :laugh: I'd never seen the water bottle method... since 99.9999% of the time the shell method works for me, I'll go with that.
But some interesting ideas shared.

So wish I could buy egg whites here. Not available in Costa Rica.0

Separated egg whites supposedly don't work for whipping. The only time I separate eggs is when I'm making an angel food cake or waffles.0

This my method also. Although I do own a little thing that looks like a measuring cup with a cut out around the center - so the yoke drops in the center and the whites pass through. I've had it forever - but I can't imagine it cost more than a couple dollars at the most.0 -
I use my hands, but I add to the suggestion to buy liquid egg whites if you are doing it often (oh, I see they aren't available -- I'd double check, but if not, that's a bummer). Wasting the yolk would feel so sad to me if done often--I simply could not do it, would rather give up eggs.
I personally eat the yolks when just having eggs.0 -
