An egg separator is a kitchen tool designed to separate the egg white from the yolk. It typically consists of a small bowl or cup with a slotted or perforated design that allows the liquid egg white to flow through while retaining the yolk. This tool is especially useful for recipes that require only one part of the egg, such as meringues or custards. Using an egg separator can make cooking and baking easier and cleaner. It helps prevent the yolk from breaking, which can be a common issue when separating eggs by hand. Many home cooks and professional chefs, including those who work with baking and pastry, find this tool invaluable for precise cooking.
