It has been making the rounds for the last few months on FB and rfc
(more than once for each).

It's cute. Probably won't work with a lot of store bought commercial eggs
as the yolks are just too weak to stay together. Farm raised fresh eggs or
high quality free range fed natural food would work. Trouble is, you mess
up one yolk and you're screwed. With the three bowl method you only lose
one egg.

Yes. We appreciate that it is impossible to use a computer when your

Ah, yes. Alton Brown's "quarantine" method for separating eggs. I
always do it that way.

If I did, I didn't see the vid. If I was on the computer at all, in that
time frame, it was only briefly. I was still down with foot problems then.

So it was a rerun. Don't bother defending yourself from that jackass.
His goal is to make everyone wrong. It's the mark of an enlarged ego
and an even bigger personality disorder.

Did he parrot it as his own? Or is it just your irrational hatred for the
man speaking? I learned the technique from Dame Julia in 1973. It was
taught in French cooking schools years before that. AB has never staked
claim to things he did not invent.

I don't think they had plastic water bottles back in 1973.

The link that I posted did not use three bowls.

They are no longer talking about the water bottle method, the thread
drifted to a three bowl method:

DUH! Thread drift. Read up: "Trouble is, you mess
up one yolk and you're screwed. With the three bowl method you
only lose one egg."

Seems like a huge waste of time to me. Clean hands and moving egg back and
forth between hands over bowl always works for me. :-)

Also lots of bowls to wash. I suppose it makes sense if you need a
large quantity of egg whites. I don't make souffles or meringues so I
rarely need to separate eggs.

Thanks for the hint, Jill. I've been following this silly thread to
discover this mysterious method yer all discussing. Since I don't
read bovine's nonsense and don't do NSABook, I've been wondering what
the heck yer all fighting over. Thanks to yer hint, I found a u2b vid
that explains it. Guess what! I've never seen this technique.
Pretty cool. I'll hafta try it next time I separate eggs.

I'm also no fan of egg whites, so if I need yolks I usually toss the
separated whites.

Some folks make egg white omelets. Sorry, but when I make an omelet I
want the whole egg.

Yep. I will even use the Fr method to make omelets, as it imparts a
much greater yolk flavor to the entire dish.

My wife often makes meringues, which are made with the whites, leaving
us with the yolks. She made some to take a a friend's last week and
ended up using the yolks to make her mother's recipe for Booze Dessert.
Beat 5-6 egg yolks then heat the yolks in a double boiler over
simmering water until they are light yellow. Add sugar and stir 'till
the graininess is gone. Add the booze and keep beating with a spoon
until thick, cool. Before serving add stiffly beaten cream folding 'till
just blended. Pour over the fruit in fancy glass dish. Serve over fresh
fruit.

Not at all - I have saved many a bowl of egg whites that way. Nothing
worse than having to race to the market to buy another box of eggs. OK,
maybe having your leg ripped off by a crocodile is worse but you know what I
mean.

Me too, but I will assume they avoid yolks because of the cholesterol.

Nope.

Nor souffles, chiffons, foams, etc. I get all the air I need by
simply inhaling. I don't consider it a foodstuff.

Pepsi started using the4 2 liter bottle in 1970. Bottled water came
sometime later IIRC.

Egg white omelettes are for people who need to eat but hate the taste of
food.

If it helps your problem as all.... the whites are whipped up to make
souffles light and air, but the yolks are also used to give it the rich
flavour.

The whole cholesterol issue is all bull.

"....cholesterol is essential for all animal life, each cell synthesizes
it...."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

No one knows how much is too much or how bad it is. One doctor sez
mine is too high, another sez it's not. The one thing I am sure of,
the pharmas are making a killing selling pills to allegedly deal with
it and I don't trust those smarmy bastids fer a single heartbeat.

Sorry, Dave, but no food has ever been made richer by adding air.
