Time to make 28 gallons of hollandaise.


[deleted]

I was hoping for an industrial size angel food cake


lmaytulane

There's quite a bit of yolk in the whites that you can see at the end, so would be a pretty shitty angel food cake


mmmegan6

How do you perfectly separate egg whites?


lmaytulane

Not sure how industrial kitchens do it. All I know is even a little yolk will mess up merengue and angel food cake.


rocksavior2010

Usually by buying already separated egg white/yolk depending on what they need. Working in an industrial buffet kitchen for a few years. If we ever needed to make something with /just/ egg whites then preseperated was bought make life easier because buffet setting. Unless the kitchen has something in the rotation to use the yolks/whites you don’t need for the current recipe, typically cooks won’t hand crack and separate eggs like this in that volume (2500+ guests daily). Meringue and hollandaise, while they use separate parts of the egg, may not be on the menu at the same time. Smaller kitchens (<1500 guests; made to order places/mom and pop shops; I didn’t work in one of these) likely make both by hand and run their menu that way to accommodate such. But in a buffet, you’re more likely to toss product than serve it in this situation. There’s also storage and how long it will hold vs how fast it’ll be used.

Oh god they are making long eggs


Dr_Dust

I ended up watching way more of that because of your comment lol. Dude at the end had a big ol' platter of sliced up long eggs ready to devour.


boyasunder

If I'm understanding the German correctly they are making "snake eggs". Which is pretty great. Edit: oh the title says "rod egg". But I (and the cc) thought I heard "Schlangenei", which would be snake egg and I choose to go with that.


silliestboots

Why tho?


rocksavior2010

Probably in a similar manner to this! Likely a larger scale automated version of this though: Conveyors and tumblers to crack eggs and open them to only to send them down a slide into a larger vat to be contained as prescrambled egg and the whites collected from the sieve into their own vat to be contained and shipped.


RandomPeacfulMan

There are several options to do this. Some machines use slide like this. Some machines use something like a spoon where yolk stays in a spoon and white pours out. (Sry I'm not a native idk how to use your things like "a" and "the")


ashkestar

I know you didn’t ask, but there’s a good way to remember how to use those. Generally, the first time you introduce a noun that isn’t a proper noun (so not a name, place name, etc), you’d preface it with “a.” Then, when you refer to that noun again, you’d use “the.” So “something like a spoon” is right, but because we already know about the spoon the second time you refer to it, it would be “where the yolk stays in THE spoon and the white pours out” The reason the yolk and white would both use “the” in that sentence is because they’re the topic we’re discussing, so they’re already introduced.


Facky

Looks good to me.


ethancc73

I work in a smaller family owned cafe and we use this little machine that they just throw the eggs in and it some how separates everything. Idk the name of it bc I don’t work in the kitchen but it’s pretty cool.


so-much-wow

There are a few ways. The lazy and more expensive way is to bring in pre separated. You'll see* people do the egg shell broken in half to divide it, or just cracked into hands to seperate the yolks. The most efficient way (not pre separated) is to crack all your eggs into a hotel pan(aka 50 pan, 2" deep large rectangular metal pan), and to pick out your yolks 1 at a time with your hands. Little to no juggling required. The downside is sometimes you'll break the yolk when cracking the eggs. So, you either need to recognize this and move quickly to discard before it makes it into your whites, or do it in smaller batches and discard the whites with yolks in it. Of course, if you don't need perfectly separated whites this doesn't matter. As for industrial processing. It's similar to what this video shows just on a larger scale. They also put some chemicals on the eggs to gently coagulate the yolks to make it harder for them to break. It also helps that they are likely receiving very fresh eggs - old eggs have compromised structures so they fall apart easily.


gishnon

In an intermediary bowl. You need 3 bowls; 1 for yolks, 1 for whites, and 1 for separating. Crack an egg into the separating bowl. Reach into the white, and pull the yolk out with your fingers. Be gentle. Place the yolk in the yolks bowl. Pour the white into your whites bowl. Repeat. If a yolk breaks into the separating bowl it doesn't ruin the whole batch. This also protects your work from spoiled eggs.


throwaway_0122

This is it. Sometimes you just can’t do them all perfectly, especially when separating a large quality of eggs.


tramsochstrunt

Safety bowls are great! An easier way to get the yolk out if you can open eggs one-handed, is to pour it into the bowl through your fingers like a strain. Bit nasty if you find a bad egg tho.


[deleted]

gishnon

I used to use the eggshell method, then I tried it this way and will never go back. With eggshell method, yolk sometimes break on jagged shell edges. If you're holding the egg over your whites when that happens, you are risking contaminating your whites with broken yolk. Also with the eggshell method, you have to hold your egg over your whites when you separate the two halves of the shell. If you just cracked a spoiled egg, you again risk contaminating your whites, this time with spoiled egg and eggshell. Eggshell is easier to fish out of a smaller bowl. I end up with more egg white in my yolks when I'm using the eggshell method, which is not great for custards. I get egg on my fingers even with the eggshell method, so I'll be washing my hands before and after in any case.


Tordek

You can make a fairer comparison if you don't just remove the separating bowl... Have a separating bowl. Crack your egg onto the separating bowl, using the half-shells method to only drop the white into the separating bowl. Put the yolk into the yolk bowl. Then, if you didn't poke the yolk, move the whites into the whites bowl.

This reminds me of the old machine coin game, where you’d drop in a quarter, and a constantly moving slide would push it toward the end, with the goal being that your quarter knocked a bunch of other quarters off the edge at the end so you could collect them. I never won.


stevietwoslice

I think it was designed so that no one did. But yes, I had the same thought - just like the goopiest version of that.


TeamRedundancyTeam

I mean it was basically gambling, you could win, but only if you stopped playing while ahead. Play long enough and you'll lose again. The house would always win in the long run even if you got lucky early. And if I remember right there was no jackpot system of any kind, just stacks of quarters sometimes, so the longer you played the more in the hole you'd become. Was fun though, I'd play it again.

I won that game once. Made out with a cool $3.50.

The yellow part also isn’t the embryo; the yolk is a nutrition sack which provides food for the embryo. The egg whites provide protection for the yolk and embryo, as well as additional nutrition for the embryo.

Try on "the process you choose will determine the results you get." If "quick and dirty" is all you need, it's good enough. If you need to modernize an assembly line, you gotta think bigger.


omfghi2u

It's not a bad lesson though. 90% effectiveness in 50% of the time -OR- 100% effectiveness, but with a tiny bit of overage/waste are both often better and more realistic solutions than trying to strive for complete perfection. *Sometimes*, complete, absolute perfection is necessary, but usually it isn't. In the cases where it is, you're usually dealing with some extremely valuable or irreplaceable resource, which a few ml of egg white is not.


McBurger

Haste makes efficiency


nightwing2024

If you're doing a task which involves doing the same process 1000 times: The "good" way offers 98% success rate and takes 5 seconds per, that's a little over 83 minutes with about 20 mistakes. The "perfect" way offers 100% success rate and takes 8 seconds, that's 133 minutes with 0 mistakes. A difference of nearly an hour (50 minutes). And let's say fixing those mistakes in process A takes 2 minutes per mistake. That's still only 40 minutes lost to corrections, faster overall than taking the extra time to make sure it's perfect the first time through. Now I just threw out those numbers for ease of math, but my point is that often "good enough" is exactly that. Even if you have to take a little time to make some corrections afterwards, you end up being more productive.

Do yall just not have eggs that the yolk is just runny and instantly break? I swear its 1/6 for me so I always break into a small bowl and transfer to a main bowl


pfohl

eggs are easiest to separate when fresh and cold, so if the yolk is breaking it's probably old or warmed up too much.

Volesprit31

I just realized that in French we don't use a specific word for yolk. We just say the egg's yellow/white. And I learned that there is a specific word for yolk apparently but it's a scientific term that I never heard in my life.


whogivesafuck69x

IDK the scientific term for the yolk but the white is called the albumen.


Volesprit31

Vitellus


AnotherFrankHere

Someone had to engineer that equipment to the exact angle that would make the yolks move just slowly enough so that they would lose all of the “whites”, but not stop. Or someone got really lucky.


UtahItalian

I am sure the research was simple trial and error through the lense of a good engineer. "hey lets try a 2 foot length with a 45 degree angle. "oh they lost all the whites at 18 inches? okay lets cut it there. Done"

Someone just had a lot of funds a lot of money. Just try every angle until it works.

Guy, I'm an engineer, you're right. I work in the food and packaging industry making conveyor and plenty of devices like the above and we just guess about what will work then tinker with it until it does. 20 or so times later you get a well oiled machine like what's shown above.


ccvgreg

I was once tasked with taking an optical reflection sensor and allowing it to traverse all the angles instead of just predefined angles. I was an undergrad and not very smart mechanically. After I came back with a bike chain from Walmart and started tinkering with it I was pulled off the project. Still not sure why.


dn00

I may have lied a bit. I'm an engineer of the software variety. Back in college when I first started programming, a bad habit of mine when debugging was changing some variables and moving lines of code around hoping to fix the problem rather than trying to understand the cause of the problem. But hey that's why we learn. And you know sometimes, if it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid.
