33 Life Hacks to Solve Your Everyday Problems

Speaking of Eggs, Simply Separate the Yolks ‘Eggs-actly’ Like This!

Whether you know your way around the kitchen or not, you know that different recipes call for different various ingredients. While some recipes, like fluffy butterscotch meringue tarts and creamy coconut macaroons, call for the popular egg white, some recipes, such as a deliciously palatable linguini with carbonara, make the egg yolk the star of the show.

As you know, nature naturally attaches the egg white and yolk together, and separating the two on your own without making a mess seems practically impossible. In most cases, you only need the separation for one recipe, making the purchase of separate egg whites and yolks unnecessary. 

Easiest way to separate your egg yolk from the egg white without painting your kitchen yellow? Use a water bottle! Squeeze and empty water bottle and place the mouth at the top of a cracked egg. When you release some of your grip, the bottle will serve as a vacuum and gently suck the egg yolk apart from the egg white. You can then squeeze the bottle again to release the yolk into a separate bowl!
