How do you remove only egg whites?

Published in Egg Separation 2 mins read

You can remove only egg whites by carefully separating them from the yolk using the eggshell or by using the "cracked egg" method.

Methods for Separating Egg Whites

Here are two methods detailed in the provided reference to achieve this:

1. The Eggshell Method

  • Crack the Egg: Carefully crack the egg open, trying to keep the yolk intact within one half of the shell.
  • Toggle the Yolk: Gently move the yolk back and forth between the two halves of the eggshell, allowing the egg white to fall into a separate bowl below.
  • Complete Separation: Continue toggling until all of the egg white has been removed, leaving only the yolk in the shell.

2. The Cracked Egg Method

  • Crack the Egg: Crack the egg open into a bowl.
  • Remove the Yolk: Carefully scoop out the egg yolk using a spoon or your fingers.
  • Remaining Egg White: The egg white will be left behind.
