    No? Idk it seems slow, like can I be speed crackin eggs with both hands or does it only work one at a time

  2. KickThePR

    Hate? No, definitely not, but I don’t think it’s any faster than doing it by hand. And it’s not like it’s better purity-wise – you can still see plenty of whites stuck to a yolk so the yolk batch is still tainted a bit.

    Kinda hate it, because its clearly not getting all the whites.

    Hey, I can’t either; I’m not that fastidious. A few extra grams of alloantis or albumin? So what.

    But If I can do it faster than the machine and produce the same results as the machine, then, well, its not a very good machine.

    I can make a gallon of hollandaise in the time it takes him to Crack the eggs

  5. Maybe not most efficient but if it serves the purpose, which given we’re seeing it it does, fuck it, why not.

    I kinda low key hate that he has to use two hands to crack an egg

  7. ChiefWeedsmoke

    Fuck this, get with that fucking centrifuge thing that scrambles an egg inside its shell

    I’m pretty sure it’s the user who’s slow and not the machine.

    This feels great if you need to accommodate a work injury as someone said. And I see no issue other than…storage. Every kitchen I have worked in has had to work around storage issues and this seems like a single use tool that takes up a lot of space.

    If you want to clean all that equipment yourself instead of doing that by hand, be my guest.

    I bet those yolks had a ton of whites in em but I think the concept is there.

    If this rig was improved, this could be great.

    Not a chef but I’m surprised he’s using two hands to crack an egg.

  13. ChekovsCurlyHair

    I feel like it could’ve been made much smaller and still get the job done

  14. countfluffythetrout

    I would be making car sounds the whole time like an idiot.

  15. No these are great.

    This operator seems slow as syrup using it, usually get into a really good flow after awhile so it is fairly quick.

    HOWEVER if I have alot of eggs to separate i just buy the whites and yolks pre-separated.
    Yes it’s alot more expensive but so is my time and sanity.

  16. You can do this with a bowl and a slotted spoon.
    With the bonus that the bowl and slotted spoon can be used for other tasks.

    i only ever made it to prep cook and i could still do this faster with just my hands

  18. hobopwnzor

    This is pretty cool. Just works as fast as you can crack em.

  19. PipPip_Cherio

    It’s fine. While it’s sliding you’re already cracking the next egg. When seperating it helps to be paying attention rather than speeding through it.

    No yolk, he’s got some shella balls cracking it straight onto it.

    A good baker could easily knock this out faster. Without all the bullshit to clean.

    I want one of these for my house, poached yolks with a couple of regular ones would be naughty

  22. TheKingDotExe

    we buy egg yolks and white separate, they are pasteurized and ready to use in 5 liter containers. Much less hassle. Probably far more expensive but time saver.

  23. Not a chef, but when I worked in a cake factory this thing would be amazing. It managed the load of 2 /3 people cracking eggs at the same time on it. And when we needed to do a batch of 400 egg whites it would be much faster than doing it by hand.

    I saw one of these in regular use in an old fashioned winery in Rioja where they use the egg white to clarify the wine from sediment

  25. BertrandQualitay

    You know they sell bottled white or yolk right ?
