Egg Separation

Preparation and Flavor Development Techniques

Egg separation is a technique, generally used in cooking, in which the egg yolk is removed from the egg white so that one part of the egg can be used without the other, or so that each part can be treated differently. Custard recipes, for example, call for egg yolks, while meringue is made from whipped egg whites.
