Abstract

An unitary egg separator is provided which includes a cup with a handle. The cup has a pair of symmetrically located elongated slots positioned adjacent to the bottom apex of the cup. The handle is transversely broadened and longitudinally relatively short, and has transversely spaced, downwardly extending ears on its opposite sides that cooperate with the cup for attaching the egg separator to the rim of a mixing bowl or the like. Also, the handle includes an upwardly extending flange adjacent to the cup, the flange having an edge that is adapted for cracking the shell of an egg.
