Abstract
A device for separating the yolk and albumen of eggs, after removal from the shell, includes a cup-shaped member in an upper portion of a unitary housing for receiving an egg, retaining the yolk and allowing the albumen to overflow the cup-shaped member through surrounding slots into a first chamber in the housing, a lever being operable thereafter to break the yolk and form an opening in the cup-shaped member for allowing the yoke to flow through a tube extending downwardly through the first chamber into a second chamber. The chambers each have inclined floors and chutes for allowing their respective contents to flow into separate containers. A funnel is preferably mounted above the cup-shaped member together with an anvil so that the shell of the egg can be broken on the anvil and the combined yolk and albumen directed into the cup-shaped member by the funnel.
