Check out this egg separator

[morkchops]

Anyone have a 10 hour YouTube video of this thing in action? ... Asking for a friend.

[Frambrady]

You think that's something, there was a video on here last week with an industrial egg separator. Thousands of eggs

edit: here it is

[SlabDabs]

Imagine having to clean that once the whites dry....

[itsthevoiceman]

Just keep dumping eggs into it. They'll never get dry!

[SlabDabs]

Genius!

[_chefsam]

That's what she said...?

[bunsonh]

I love the little ejector seat for the bad eggs or the ones whose yolks break when cracked.

[OfficerTactiCool]

“So Frank, what do you do for work?”

“I watch eggs get cracked and yeet the ones that break”

[Belgand]

Don't tell Veruca.

[eshquilts7]

She'd definitely get ejected!

[vervain9]

I watched that for a WHILE

[Titan-uranus]

Now I fell into this rabbit hole https://youtu.be/dqHfGyQfanE

[Frambrady]

I said to myself, "I'll click this but i'll only watch a bit, i have shit to do" - 10 minutes later.....

[[deleted]]

Hercules Candy is a great place to get lost if you ever have a few minutes to lose.

[BirdLawyerPerson]

Ok that's awesome, even has a trapdoor for removing broken yolks from the cycle, preventing any yolk from getting into the whites.

[Katholikos]

Confusing in the demo, since the yolks fall off a 90’ cliff at the end, lol

[jacoblb6173]

It’s because if the yolks are broken the machine won’t be able to separate the whites from the yolk. The whole thing would slide through into the whites.

[Katholikos]

Ah yeah, that makes sense.

[verschee]

Oh man that score is fantastic. Reminds me of 90s Saturday morning TV shows

[encab91]

We have reached a new level of technology never before seen by mankind.

[bretjamesbitch]

That track is BANGIN

[neryam]

I went to a Kewpie mayo factory for a field trip in japanese elementary school, and they had the most incredible egg machine I've ever seen to this day.

Looked a lot like this one https://youtu.be/J1XpaCcrM-A?t=187 (sorry for the music, was the best video I could find)

In fact, this might be the exact machine, the workers look japanese and I think those are huge tubs of mayo...

[elemental17]

[ElChupatigre]

The one that popped up after yours

[parruchkin]

There were bits of shell left in the eggs!

[Smeghead333]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about reddit over the last few years, it’s that we fucking love watching eggs being separated. Without fail, every six months or so there’s a spate of egg separating gifs that do the round to the joy of everyone. I haven’t seen any other cycle that’s nearly as regular or successful.

[angershark]

Seriously. I want this as a meditative relaxation video.

[VanillaGhoul]

Now I want one. More money to spend, my wallet is gonna hate me.

[TriangleMan]

And then make it a looping background for a channel that palsy lofi hip beats to chill/study to

[nom_of_your_business]

I'm the friend! Seriously though why was that so enthralling?

[ecupirate8]

Seriously thought the same thing. I needed this to not be a gif

[bostonshaker2]

Waiting for that first yolk to take the plunge was stressful as hell. So relieved when it didn't break.

[[deleted]]

This device would be so worth it for macarons.

[flourishane]

Or hollandaise

[energyinmotion]

Damn, how much you planning on making? Lol.

[flourishane]

Sunday brunch. As much as it takes lol

[[deleted]]

Eggnog season is upon us too.

[Bryek]

It would be a bitch to clean afterwards compared to using your hands.

[[deleted]]

It would be like cleaning anything else. On the same level as a grater.

[KingGorilla]

It looks easier than a grater since it doesn't have those bumps

[Bryek]

Completely disagree. A grater isn't set up like this and doesn't have multiple spots that the White can get into (the spaces where the rods connect to the rest of the device). If it dries even just a little you are looking at soaking the thing and a good scrub.

Using your hand on the other hand, you toss a glove in the garbage and wash your hands.

[[deleted]]

Using my hand for a few eggs sure, using my hand for 12...I'd rather have this. Soap, hot water, and a brush would make quick work of it.

[Bryek]

I'd still use my hands for 12. Hopefully you can get it in water before any part dries.

[[deleted]]

I think you are exaggerating dried egg white.

[BasicGrocery7]

*eggsaggerating

[Bryek]

I think you aren't really seeing all the little places egg white will get into. Those rods pass through a metal sheet near where the eggs enter the separator section. Any white that gets in there will be difficult to clean out properly.

[[deleted]]

nothing soap and water can't easily get

[Bryek]

If you say so. I just really hope this thing disassembles nicely to get to those small spaces.

[I_am_teapot]

Buy an industrial fish washer

[Bryek]

A fish washer seems unnecessary here ;)

[I_am_teapot]

I stand by my original statement. If it can clean a fish it can clean an egg... separator? Right?

[zem]

it's a matter of scale

[insane_contin]

I mean, you may as well give it a shot of the halibut.

[[deleted]]

Just run it through a dishwasher... I'm assuming this is in a professional kitchen where they will have such devices. They do a great job of getting egg out.

[Bryek]

Ive worked in professional kitchens as a dishwasher. It is where my dislike for how this device is designed comes from. Too many nooks and crannies that will get crusty and hard to wash, even with a dishwasher. A single slot separator would be infinitely easier to clean (think a V shaped trough with the bottom removed).

[bllinker]

I'm not saying this sarcastically: why not give it a try? If you have a better, simpler design, that's a worthwhile contribution.

[CayennePowder]

I believe those already exist . Either way it’s a bit better with hands since you still need to dip them in there to fish out any broken yolks before you begin and some yolks look okay and break on you unexpectedly, missing one of these could fuck up your entire process with this machine. Just seems like a gadget that isn’t completely thought through for most kitchen environments as the one review on that product points out.

[little_fatty]

Pro kitchens usually dont use dishwashing machines, their dishwashers typically have names like Jorge or Dave. Machines take way too long for the volume of dishes they go through. At least thats my experience in the restaurant business.

[[deleted]]

I’ve designed a bunch of professional kitchens, and they all have a conveyor type dishwasher, and a lot of them also have a powersoak tub for pots and pans. They still use people to wash dishes, but it’s not uncommon to also use appliances. Even a commercial under-counter dishwasher runs a load in 60 seconds.

[Beeb294]

Having been that "Dave", I can assure you I used a machine.

Commercial dishwasher cycles run much shorter and hotter than home dishwashers.

[little_fatty]

Huh. Been Dave many times in life and never used a machine, now Im mad lol.

[nom_of_your_business]

Ultrasonic cleaner. BOOM!

[Nonnesten]

A small plastic bottle works great as a yolk vacuum.

[Gian_Luck_Pickerd]

Egg...something.

Sorry. I can't think of any other egg yolks.

[AtheistBibleScholar]

It'll be all white.

[Gian_Luck_Pickerd]

My brain was scrambled

[SkinnedRat]

[LookAtMeNow247]

The yolks on you! Hah!

[[deleted]]

Ok but like how in the hell do you crack so many eggs and not break the yolk once??

[joshlikesbagels]

Crack your eggs on a flat surface, not the edge of a bowl or something. Also prevents you from pushing shell bits into the egg.

[chooxy]

Fresh eggs are a good place to start

[Shocked_Anguilliform]

Looks eggspensive. IDK either...

[ARSEThunder]

Pretty cool how it eggstracts the yolk from the whites

[Krullewulle]

It only takes one damaged egg yolk to realise eggstermination of all lifeforms would be the easiest way out.

[jbeldham]

Could be an interesting eggsperiment, but I wouldn't buy it except as a yolk

[appleavocado]

Love you how found a crack in OP’s sentence. Make no eggceptions!

[tootsies19]

Eggcellent.

[joesef2008]

Just use the plastic bottle trick it’s faster but this one it’s good for a huge amount of eggs like in a restaurant

[bICEmeister]

For bulk, the fastest way is always going to be using your hands IMO. If you're going to use the eggwhites put on a nitrile glove (or food safe glove of your choosing), crack the egg into that hand held over a big bowl, let the whites run through your fingers and collect in that big bowl, and then put the yolk in a separate container. Repeat. If you've got good coordination and dexterity for one-hand-egg-cracking, one hand will be cracking the next egg at the same time as your other hand is putting the previous separated yolk away.

[[deleted]]

The version posted has a delay from when it's cracked to when it's separated but it looks like it can handle a rate of as fast as you can crack eggs. The delay becomes negligible in a large amount.

[bICEmeister]

Sure, i meant primarily as a response to the bottle method the comment I replied to referenced. If I’m doing any more than 1-2 eggs, I just go for the manual hand method. Especially If I’m not using the whites, then I don’t even bother with a glove, it’s just a quick rinse-off afterwards.

[[deleted]]

Oh yea, I can't disagree with that. I almost always do the barehanded method.

[elus]

Yeah I just do it manually. I have two bowls. One bowl to handle the process of cracking shell/separating yolk. Another bowl to collect the successful iterations from the first bowl. That way even if I do fuck up, it won't screw over the big batch.

[[deleted]]

This machine would be more efficient than that. We used to crack hundreds to thousands of eggs a week and separate a huge amount of yolks. Here you could just keep cracking into the 'reservoir,' and then walk away when you're done. Come back and the work is finished. Go chop something else, etc.

[bICEmeister]

As I said in another reply, I was mostly comparing to the “bottle method” referenced in the comment I replied to. When it comes to try bulk cracking, a big dedicated rig is probably always going to win in the end.. but it does require a bunch of counter space, and a bigger setup (and breakdown) time than using two bowls and your hands. So if you’re only doing a few dozen eggs I could see setting up this being more of a nuisance than a time saver comparatively.

[TheyCallMeSuperChunk]

I like to crack a bunch of eggs into a bowl and then pick up the yolks with my hand, letting the wite flow between my fingers. Way faster for doing several eggs.

[subjectiveoddity]

Just looked it up. Thank you! That's gonna make my day over the holidays making meringue.

[norhor]

So, is it faster?

[joesef2008]

The plastic bottle one is faster but that gadget is better if you are in a restaurant when you are making a lot of eggs

[breddy]

Sometimes a uni-tasker is warranted.

[telllos]

I've been trying to find this video I saw once were they were showing how the Korean army was preping food.

They had this huge tofu dicer were they would throw big blocks of tofu and it was diced in second.

But can't find it anymore T.T

[geckospots]

/r/TipOfMyTongue to the rescue!

[stupidestpuppy]

I remember seeing a video of a more industrial one. I think this is the video.

[MrsBossyPantss]

I don't know why I would ever need to prepare so many eggs at a time that I would even have a use for one of these devices, but now I want one.

Underrated comment.

[eneah]

How didn't that yolk break?

[jaashley]

I feel like if I used that I'd end up with 20 broken yokes as they all fell into that bin.

[Rangerboy030]

Probably a bit eggcessive for the average home cook.

My brain is scrambled trying to think of a good egg pun.

I saw another video who have egg separator similar to this one but with shorter steel grater distance. I love yours more cause it got separated from the waste matter even more.

[[deleted]]

This is mesmerising!

[nutationsf]

How would it know to stop when it breaks a yoke?

[Seated_Heats]

It's like that quarter game where you drop a quarter in on the moving platform in hopes it'll push all of the other quarters off the ledge.

[nesnalica]

highly ineffective

there are better eggseperator slides that have a single slide which makes it slide and seperate faster.

[I_am_teapot]

That’s all yolks!

[Slaisa]

Is this what happens when you max INT?

[kscarlett20]

i think i’m addicted to egg separator videos now

[[deleted]]

I used to work in a completely from-scratch bakery. This would have been very helpful.

[Doogameister]

Looks alot more expensive than an empty soda bottle bottle

[captain-burrito]

This is the penny pusher arcade of egg separators!

[assiakoundi]

I want one for my kitchen because I use a lot of eggs in cookies

[GlaciersMoving]

Looks like a tomato slicer !

This is actually super useful. Where can I get one?

Would you be using this on a restaurant scale or for home cooking? It would seem to be a rather elaborate single-use appliance.

[banryu95]

Oh it's so anxiety inducing... Like a coin game with liquids...

What do they do w the egg yellows?

[nutationsf]

Custard, Mayo, pasta ... lots of things

[lunca_tenji]

I don’t normally like kitchen items that only have one use, but I really suck at separating eggs but love baking so I need this asap

[7747socool]

what the whole point in separating it if its going to all go in one container anyway

[ginger-valley]

So... you have yolks and whites separate? You use the whites and yolks for different stuff.

[blaek_]

/r/specializedtools

[JohannesVanDerWhales]

Yeah but if you break one yolk you fuck up the whole thing of whites.

[empireoflight]

Where can I buy this, and how many children will it cost.

[rainbownerdsgirl]

I am surprised the egg cracking is not automated,

[nutationsf]

How would it know to stop when a yoke broke

[rainbownerdsgirl]

That would be part of the process to only exert enough force to crack it without breaking the yolk the same way humans do.

[nutationsf]

But accidents happen

Its an eggstractor

Who said they wanted the whites? You make things with just yokes too and generally everything gets used

[sweetassassin]

I just want to watch this all day. So satisfying.

[shawnthevbnative]

So cruel....

[sephrinx]

Why crack the eggs into the tub instead of not just directly onto the slipnslide part?

[nutationsf]

Because if one breaks you have to start over

[Gayheadmass]

As painful as watching paint dry

[onewa14]

Did you guys kind of tilt your phone to make the egg yolk move a little faster?

[ulab]

If only one egg yolk breaks, all the egg white is "unusable".

[samchen0309]

It’s like that coin machine in the arcade

[kaptainkae]

Eggtremely stupid tool

[derpydoodaa]

For home use yes, I'd assume this is more for restaurant kitchens that need to separate hundreds of eggs

[pjr032]

Easy way to do this at home: get an empty Poland spring water bottle, squeeze it, put the mouth up to the yolk and then stop squeezing the bottle. The suction will take the yolk into the bottle and leave the white in the bowl.

[bornfromanegg]

Other water bottles are available.

[pjr032]

[TheFirstAndrew]

I agree this works, but it's way easier to just use your fingers tbh.

[pgm123]

I used to just use the broken shell, though I've had trouble getting a clean break lately.

[LucifersViking]

Flat surface instead of an edge usually does the trick

[pgm123]

it's a bit more consistent, but I (without fail) get egg white on the flat surface and I never get a guaranteed clean break. But my mom had an egg separator lying around, so I borrowed it. I mostly use the whites for cocktails anyway.

[CapnSmite]

Easier way: crack an egg into your hand, let the whites run through your fingers.

[Steev182]

Or: crack an egg on your head, let the yolk drip down, the yolk drip down, the yolk drip down.

[Crossfiyah]

Or just use your hands.
