Try this quick and clean method for separating yolks and whites. Gently crack an egg over a slotted spoon set atop a bowl. The white will flow through the openings, leaving the yolk intact and your hands mess-free.



May not be an organizational tip in the truest form but will certainly speed up prep time for a recipe and keep the mess to a minimum for clean-up. There is always the "delete" button option as well.
This tip is great because the age-old practice of using the two eggshell halves to strain out the egg white while trapping the yolk, has been found to be unsanitary. Bacteria may remain in the pores of the egg shell even after it has been washed and sanitized, and can be transferred to the egg when it is passed back and forth during the separation processed.
This is once again not an organizing tip. I like organizing tips that is why I signed up for them, nit cooking tips.
This has always been a bug-a-boo because I don't do that many eggs recipes that need yolks and whties spearating. I have paid for some separating tools but I never can find them in a large draw of these kind of special stuff tools. So this spoon idea really is a great one. Thanks you becasue you can always find this!
