Seperate an Egg

I never knew there were so many different ways to seperate an egg, but the folks over at WikiHow sure do! This site details the shell method, hand method, funnel method and the seperator method. It also gives us a couple of tips on what to do if the seperation goes awry.

Although you could discard the yolk, a better idea is to use any of the yolks created this way to make an egg dish (like homemade mayonnaise) or for cakes. Try to have two recipes in mind before you crack the eggs open.
If eggshell falls into the egg whites, scoop it out with a teaspoon or another larger piece of the egg shell.
If you’re beating the egg whites, such as for a meringue, make sure no yolk gets in. Any bit of yolk in egg whites will cause them not to foam.
Seperator method can be performed with a simple slotted spoon. Just crack the egg on top of the spoon, with bowl beneath to catch the whites, and shake gently.
