  1. A little hole would be necessary.  You poke one little hole in the top of the egg and another little hole in the bottom of the egg.  You then gently blow through one hole and the yoke and white should come through the other end.  Be careful though because you can blow too hard and crack the shell.


  2. No clue i think its impossible!

  3. Poke a hole at the top with a needle and let it drain out.

  4. get a needle or pin and stick a hole on one side then you made another slightly larger hole on the opposite side then you blow into the smaller hole and you get the yolk out of the larger hole and make sure you have a cup or something to catch it in then when you think most of the yolk is out you rinse it off in the sink.

  5. ?? That's not possible... You have to at least poke a hole in it...

  6. make a little hole on the top.

  7. The yolk of an egg has a density of around 1.14g/ml, while the white has a density of about 1.03g/ml.  That's a big enough difference to allow you to separate the two via density.  Here's what I would do: put the egg in a centrifuge, and spin it until the denser yolk has been pulled to the bottom.  The use the pinprick method on the top and bottom, and centrifuge again until egg white is seen coming out of the pinprick.  This should get you JUST the yolk, with almost no egg white.

  8. You take a needle, and poke a hole in each end,

    then stand over the sink, and blow like heel. It will

    eventually, all come out the bottom end.

    We used to do it every year for Easter.

    So, I know it can be done. <}:-})

  9. In school one time we poked a small hole in the top of an egg and in the bottom (in the oval parts) and blew the stuff out of the egg, but all of the inside came out-not just the yoke. It is also very hard to do because the hole is so small and you have to blow on it very hard. It is worse than blowing up hard balloons.

  10. Take a drill and make a hole in the bottom..

  11. Ok dude easy you poke a hole on the top and bottom of an egg with maybe a needle or something and you blow from the top or bottom hole and then you wait till the yolk comes out.

  12. You can take a needle and poke the egg shell so there is a hole in  it on both sides, then you blow through one hole and the egg come out the other. I'm not sure how to keep the yoke in though. good luck

  13. You can't.  Either that or you worded your question wrong.

  14. Just the yolk?  Or take out all the stuff inside?

    If you just want to take out all the stuff inside, you can poke a hole with a pin (a pretty small hole, about the size of a pencil tip) at the top and bottom of the egg and blow into one of the holes and it will all come out the other hole.

    I don't know how to get out just the yolk without the egg whites as well.

  15. No problem. Put the egg in a glass of vinegar overnite. The shell disolves. Then take out the yoke. You will not have "cracked" the shell, the shell will have disolved.  

  16. Perhaps some kind of "poke through and suck out" method, or some kind of heating/freezing....I don't know.  I'd be interested if you find out.  Or perhaps the trick is in the actual "cracking" specificity...can you cut the egg?  Crush it?Smash it?  Drill it?
