Abstract
An egg separator made from a length of wire which has been bent and twisted to form a cup-shaped portion in which the white of the egg is separated from the yolk of the egg. The separator also includes a handle having two wire arms with bends therein defining slots which together define a clip which allows the egg separator to be rested to the rim of a bowl. The bends include arms which may be inclined at an angle relative to the handle corresponding generally to the angle at which the wall of the bowl is inclined so that the cup-shaped portion remains level in the bowl.
