The Mess-Free Way to Separate an Egg

Anyone who has ever tried to separate an egg yolk from an egg white will tell you that things can get a bit messy. The odds of achieving a clean separation without sticky fingers or a touch of yellow in the whites aren’t (forgive the pun!) so egg-cellent. But you can succeed at this seemingly simple culinary task! All you need is a plastic water bottle and a bowl.

To get started, crack your eggs into a bowl. Grab an empty plastic water bottle. Give it a slight squeeze over the egg yolk, then release. Watch as the egg yolk gets sucked into the water bottle like magic!
