I don't have any special secrets for separating egg whites. I try to do it the old fashioned way and end up with pieces of shell and bits of yolk in my whites. Nothing is more painful then screwing up the last of 12 eggs for an angel food cake recipe and dropping chunks of yolk into a bowl of perfect whites then trying to beat these whites into lovely peaks for 45 minutes. Yes, the recipe was correct to note that ANY YOLK at all in the whites will RUIN THE PEAKS. Now that I just messed up a whole dozen eggs, time to look for an easier and foolproof way to separate damn eggs.
Introducing, my new friend, Mr. Chicken. Given to me by my grandmother for Christmas, he has been a very welcomed addition to my kitchen. Just crack a whole egg into his head, then pour the whites through his mouth. GENIUS.
He's a kitschy masterpiece.
Buy your very own little guy and thank me later.
