ABSTRACT:
A device for separating the yolk and albumen of an egg is provided. A housing includes an inner chamber and an outer chamber. A lid member is detachably coupled to an upper edge of the housing. The lid includes an annular member positioned above the inner chamber and a plurality of slots disposed adjacent to the annular member communicating with the outer chamber. The annular member is sized for retaining the yolk and for causing the albumen to overflow the annular member with the slots allowing the albumen to flow downwardly into the outer chamber. A lever is pivotally coupled to the annular member. The lever has a bottom portion abutting a bottom edge of the annular member for enabling dispensing of whole yolk retained in the annular member into the inner chamber without breaking the yolk. A funnel is detachably mounted on the lid. The funnel has a bottom opening positioned above the annular member for directing the egg to the annular member. A circumferential flange on a top edge of the funnel provides an anvil for breaking the shell of the egg prior to dispensing the egg in the funnel member. The housing may optionally be provided with a closeable spout communicating with the outer chamber. The spout provides facile removal of albumen retained in the outer chamber.
