sucking an egg

Grub Street found a great video on how to separate an egg. The video is in Chinese but it doesn't matter -- it's perfectly clear from the images what the woman is doing. Indeed, it adds a whole new layer of context to the expression "sucking an egg." So check it out and let's hear how you did.

I always use my hands. As long as your nails aren't too long that works perfectly.
