What are egg whites?

Question

which part of the egg are egg whites? How do you seperate it from the egg itself? Is it good for you?

Answer 1

when you crack an egg, all of the gooey, clear gel stuff is the "whites"; it gets its name because when you cook only that part of the egg, it becomes white. It is a little healthier for you because it has less cholesterol than the yellow.
to separate: carefully crack the egg on the edge of a bowl and very slowly pull it apart, letting only the yellow fall into the bowl. Hold the clear stuff in the shell halves and put in a separate bowl. It takes practice!

Answer 2

The egg white is the part of the egg that is not the yolk (or yellow part). When you crack an egg the yolk usually remains intacted. You can then seperate the yolk from the egg white. I do this by not ever pouring the yolk out of the shell, but it is probably easier to crack the egg into a bowl and then use a spoon to remove the yolk.

Answer 3

Technically egg whites are known as albumen, they provide the nourishment for the developing chick that is formed by the yolk.

The modern house wife calls the yolk (the yellow ) part and the fluid around that the white.

Crack the egg and allow the albumen (white to run between your fingers into a bowl.

I always save the whites and add them to fried eggs for breakfast.

In cooking the are whipped into a frothy state and used in omelets, mouses etc.

The whites from goose eggs is used to make royal icing for wedding cakes.

Answer 4

egg whites are the part that is not yellow or the yoke. It is the clear liquid that comes out when you crack the egg. they are good for you but so is the yoke. to separate all you need to do when you crack the egg is to try and crack it in half and pour the yoke back and forth between the egg shell halves until the white is gone. you can do this over a bowl if you want to use the whites and not the yokes.

Answer 5

egg whites are the clear part of an uncooked egg. When cooked they turn white. Crack an egg in the middle and let the clear part spill into a bowl without the yellow part spilling. The yellow part, called a yoke, can be high in cholesterol so doctors recommend avoiding too much of it.

Answer 6

As they said the white is the part of the egg that surrounds the yoke. If u beat these u will have a fluffy substance called the Mariang. Used on pies. Have fun cooking!

Answer 7

the big yellow blob in the middle of a cracked egg is the yolk. The clear stuff around it is the white. the white is healthier than the yolk and it carries less bacteria.

Answer 8

crack open the egg pour back and fourth into the eggshell halves until all the clear part of the egg is seperated from the yolk.

Answer 9

Egg-yolk

Answer 10

crack the egg in half, dump the yolk back and forth between the two pieces of the shell over a bowl til only the egg yolk is left cradled in the half shell.
