egg separator

Kitchen straining tool

An egg separator is a kitchen tool for separating egg yolks from whites.

The device typically has a slotted cup or bowl that catches the yolk while allowing the white to drain through.

Some cooks prefer the half-shell method or their own fingers, but separators reduce the risk of breaking the yolk.
