- placing the egg almost vertically, pressing the fingers of the free hand in the place where the shell cracked, and break off its upper part, some amount of protein will flow into the bowl, the yolk and some protein will remain at the bottom;

- gently tilt the bottom of the shell, pouring the protein into a bowl, while the upper half of the shell trying to carefully hold and pick up the yolk, trying to slip;
