Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
Today we are gonna test something.
What is that something?
That is a unitasker.
A unitasker does one thing
and one thing only.
Where you can find unitaskers?
Turn on your TV around 12:31 at night and then you'll find
a whole slew of them across the airwaves.
This is gonna be a time battle, ready?
Six eggs
versus
six eggs.
Unitasker versus traditional method.
Now what is that traditional method?
We're gonna be separating egg yolks.
We're gonna crack the egg, we're gonna use the shell
to separate the yolk and the white.
On this guy we're gonna crack the egg, pour it in here,
this little bowl is gonna separate the white out,
and we're gonna take the yolk,
and we're gonna dump it over here.
Why do you wanna separate eggs in the first place?
Whites for meringues,
yolks for cooked custards.
Or if you live in Southern California,
where yolks are pretty much a sin,
you're gonna have egg white omelets for days.
To be dead honest, I think that
the traditional method is gonna win.
Why, because you have the hard edge to really get in there
and actually force out the yolk from the white.
This you gotta kind of rely on gravity
to kind of do the work for you.
I think you're gonna have to be taking this thing up,
you're gonna have to be moving it around and shaking it,
when you could just already be in the motion and doing it.
Two things to consider on time.
You're gonna have to find this in your drawer.
It's under that other thing, or that big bowl,
maybe that bag of menus that you have in there.
Or maybe the chopsticks that you decided to buy once
for a noodle party that you've never used again.
That's where this is gonna be.
I think that the factoring in of the time of kind of
finding it, cleaning it up, is really gonna
pale in comparison to just doing it the right way.
Let's get into it.
Time on the clock.
Six eggs, six eggs.
Let's do it.
Ah geez, see, this is already happening.
It's not cutting out of the egg.
One.
See how the whites are sticking in there?
Depending on the size of your egg,
this is gonna be taking, oh there we go,
there we go, there we go.
Speeding up.
Three, four.
Full of extra wiggle thing.
Five.
'Cause honestly if you don't do the wiggle,
it's just gonna sit there forever.
Come on.
It's being a little stubborn.
And,
stop.
Okay, that went
a little bit better than I thought it would.
A minute, 49 seconds.
It was relatively clean.
It was pretty simple to do.
Now I'm like, nervous.
If I mess one of these up, cause you know
when you're separating eggs and you kinda mess one up?
I'm sunk.
A minute and 49 seconds for six eggs.
My hypothesis could have been off.
Let's try to do this.
And the time we're trying to beat is a minute, 49 seconds.
Here we go.
Time on the clock starts
now.
One.
Two.
Oh this egg crack is a little,
oh!
We can save it.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Stop.
55
seconds.
The final conclusion.
Unitasker, one minute and 49 seconds.
Traditional method, 56 seconds.
With a grand total difference, winning,
traditional method, of 53 seconds ahead
of the unitasker.
Now, there's a tiny bit of white in there.
We dropped an egg yolk.
All that couldn't be cleaned up,
but I had 53 seconds to play with.
Which means, kinda no matter how you cut it,
this egg yolk separator, at seven dollars and 54 cents,
is
not worth it.

Where'd it go?

Aficionado.
He's gonna walk us through and figure out his take on
three machines that you can buy for home use.
The first one we have here is one
with an internal compressor.
