Separating eggs can be a tedious task, and if done improperly, it can ruin dishes such as meringue or bacon. 

But now, a home cook has revealed a clever trick to easily separate the eggs by rubbing your fingers on the brown bread and lifting the egg yolk.

British user @rightguysaldireviews demonstrated this simple technique on TikTok and shared this handy trick with his followers, showing how the egg yolk can be easily separated from the white. 

Because the fingers are dull and soft, there is nothing to pinch the egg yolk on it to prevent it from breaking, and it is believed that kneading the bread can ensure that the hands are completely dry before picking up the egg.   

A man rubbed his fingers on brown bread and picked up the yolk, revealing a technique for separating the yolk from the white. The egg was photographed before he separated

Left: He first rubbed his fingers on the brown bread. Right: Then he reached into the bowl, pinched the egg yolk, and then lifted it perfectly, leaving the white

The clip started with two eggs in a bowl, and he explained: "Guys, take out the free-range eggs. Just to show you tips on how to separate the egg whites from the yolks.

Then he rubbed his finger on a piece of brown bread and said, "All you have to do is rub your finger on a piece of brown bread like this, and then go in and get your egg yolk."

Then he reached into the bowl, squeezed the yolk to hold it, and then took it out perfectly, leaving the white color behind. 

Then he went to take out the second egg yolk and struggled, so he rubbed the bread with his fingers again before taking out the other egg yolk.

He said at the end of the video: "Guys, guys, try it!" 

The reviewers quickly expressed their appreciation for the hacker, and many people said it was a very useful cooking technique. 

A shocked audience wrote: "I refuse to believe that this is not witchcraft."

Another wrote: "Oh my God, I tried it and it works."

One-third said: "I want to buy some eggs so I can try it!" 

Another questioned whether it was necessary to eat brown bread to work. The man replied: "My grandpa told me 20 years ago that I only know this."
