All these while, when a recipe calls for separated egg whites and yolks, I've been using my ol' trusted hands to do the work as the el-cheapo egg separator that I have at home doesn't seem to perform what it is supposed to. Before the yolk is separated, it seeped through the gaps and I get a whole egg again in the bowl. Dang.
The el-cheapo egg separator that I have
As I was scouting around at the baking supplies corner in Jaya Grocer Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang Jaya, my favourite past time when I'm out for lunch alone, I saw this awesome egg separator by Wilton which promised hassle free egg separating. It does look pretty good and one that would do it's job properly, but I was taken aback at it's price of RM50 plus! Now for that price, I had to reconsider, and I did some research online. From the reviews in Wilton's website, it seems that this product works best with cold eggs. Room temparature egg's yolk will still seep through the gap. Now that explains why the cheapo egg separator didn't perform what it's supposed to. O'well. I guess I'll just stick to using my pair of hands to separate the eggs.
Wilton Egg Separator
Few days ago, I was browsing the kitchen/baking supplies section in Parkson Subang Parade and I saw this! Leifheit Egg Separator. I was immediately drawn to it and fell in love with it at first sight. Why? Simply because this separator doesn't have any gaps and my yolks won't seep through.
So how is this thing going to separate the yolk if there is no gap you may wonder. I'll let the following pictures tell you how.

And this is how you separate the egg
Simple isn't it? Now I won't have to worry if the egg is in cold/room temparature and I still get to separate the eggs easily without mess. And the best part, it costs only half the price of Wilton's.
My verdict: This egg separator definitely made egg separating easy without mess! Definitely a good buy!
