How to Separate Eggs Easily
I love life hacks like this one. Over the years, I’ve learned a few fun kitchen hacks and shared them here with you like how to get egg shells out of a bowl, preventing boiling water from spilling over, and how to flavor plain yogurt. Separating eggs can be tricky. The egg yolk is fragile and can break easily. When you don’t want your egg yolk mixing with your egg whites, this is the separating egg method for you.
Supplies You’ll Need
- eggs
- bowl
- empty and rinsed plastic water bottle
How to Separate Eggs
Squeeze the empty bottle so you are pushing some air out of it

Place that bottle gently over the top of the egg yolk
Release your squeeze on the bottle so that it will try to fill up with air – only it will suck in the yolk instead of air

Continue to suction the rest of the egg yolk

To place the yolk into a separate bowl, tip the bottle so the yolk is in the neck of the bottle, and squeeze
