not sure what to make of this: snotty egg separator
Someone forwarded this to us yesterday. We had to share, though yes, we acknowledge it’s kinda gross and a little silly. Honestly, do you really need a gizmo to separate whites and yolks? We manage using traditional transferring-back-and-forth-in-the-half-shells-method and it’s just fine. Martha recommends you use your fingers. Always use a cold eggs. But if you’d like a chuckle while you’re at it, you could try this guy! The instructions say: “Just break an egg into the separator, tilt it 45 degrees, and watch as the egg white drips out of his nose, leaving a perfect yolk inside the dish!” Yuck! $8 at itdcommodities.com.

I have a small egg separator because it came as an accessory to my hand blender. The manual method works fine. I have one because it was free; I kept it because it takes no space.
I would not buy one, certainly not an ugly one. And why making a 4-inch high stoneware design is beyond me. Even at the dollar store, it would be too expensive for what it is.

This looks like something someone buys you as joke and then just gets pushed to back of the drawer until your next yard sale.

It’s gross, but I can just picture some of my friends’ little boys cracking up while using it to help their moms do some baking.

I use the egg shell pieces to do the separating – I think Kristi is right, you’d use it a couple of times for the joke value but not for long. Those few times, though, would be a laugh.
