In the Year of Getting Rid of Stuff

[indigo_rose99]

T went through the miscellaneous drawer yesterday. I hate it when he does this, because it generally ends up with a variation of yesterday's demands. "Why on Gods Green Earth do we have FOUR egg separators?! FOUR?!" He never likes my answers.

"I'm trying to find one that replicates the effectiveness of my favorite," I point one out, "without the problem of falling inside the cup." There is no handle, and when I'm trying to separate an egg, it is really irritating to have the plastic separator take a dive into the cup!

Then came the demands on why I had not chosen yet.... And thus today we are making chocolate rum custard. T is taking them out of the oven as I type this.

And we are down by one egg separator. One that I had high hopes for evidently had too small slots for the egg whites to escape through. It went in the trash. Number two was debatable. It was fine for egg white escape, but was so shallow that the initial drop of egg half goes onto the overly wide edge, and onto the counter. The fourth seemed to work find, but I felt that there were insufficient samples to truly call it a success.

I mean, how many eggs must you separate before you call an egg separator a success? More than one, clearly.

I had no idea I was this picky about egg separators! Or that there were so many ways one could fail!

I just use the egg shell halves. So happy that works for me!

Can Travis ADD a handle to your favorite one?
