Daisy Egg White Separator Gadget for Clean Egg Yolks

It works best with medium eggs. Large eggs have more white than the center cup can hold, so the extra white may need a second pass over the petals. Small eggs drain quickly, but the yolk sits a little lower in the cup, so lift it gently.

The daisy is a glossy white plastic with smooth petal edges, so there are no hidden seams where whites can dry. Rinse it under warm water right after each use, while the white is still loose. Dried white is harder to remove from the petal gaps, so do not let it sit on the counter.

Yes. Any bowl or glass wide enough for the petals to sit flat on the rim will work. A narrow opening lets the petals rest at an angle, and the white can spill over the sides, so pick a wider vessel.

Shell-to-shell transfers often tear the yolk, and each pass drags a little white back into the yolk. The daisy keeps the yolk in one place from the moment the egg breaks, so you skip the juggle and keep more of the white for whipping.

If you separate eggs only once or twice a month, a single small piece still pays off, because one broken yolk usually costs you more than the gadget. It is also a light, simple gift for someone who bakes, and it stays on the counter between batches.
