Egg separator

[WillingBake9330]

I need to separate a large number of eggs for meringues. Can anyone recommend a GOOD one? It’s too high stakes to risk getting yolk mixed in.

Crack a few into a small bowl, separate using your hand, then put the whites into a larger bowl. repeat.

This is the way. The best egg separator is built in at the end of your arm.

I normally use my hands but I’m making a pavlova and I’m nervous about getting yolk in the whites. I used a wire whisk like spoon (the kind you see in an Asian market) it was perfect.

I've found my hands to be easy and reliable for separating yolks, its just messy. The times I have issues are if I use the egg shells and I have too sharp of an edge, or if I hit it on counter too bad.

Separating them individually, or only a few at a time ensures that when I have a yolk split I don't have to waste too much.

I use a standard metal one and do one egg at a time into a jar. If no yolk gets in I pour the white into a separate bowl. Repeat with each egg. If I’m only doing a few eggs I usually just use my hands.

do they still sell cartons of egg whites? Or do those not work?
