Question

When a recipie asks for an egg yolk does that mean the egg needs to be hard-boiled?

Answer 1

No you need to separate the egg yolk from the egg white, raw.  

Answer 2

lol nooo. just the raw yolk, no whites.

Answer 3

No, you have to separate the yolk from the white.  You can try cracking it open gently keeping the two halfs of the egg shell in tact so you have two "cups".  Keep the egg yolk in one of the cups when you crack it open.  Then dump the egg from one cup to the other over the sink or a bowl.  The white should separate from the yolk...keep shifting it back and forth between the two cups until its separated.  Voila!  You have the egg yolk for your recipe.

This might take some practice, but its not too hard.

Answer 4

No. Egg yolk means the yellow egg. It's just need the yellow egg which means you should seperate the white and yellow egg without boiling it. Do it carefully using your hand or egg seperator. Just take the yellow.

Answer 5

when you break open a raw egg there are 2 parts, a yolk (the yellow circular object) and then the egg yolk, the clearish liquid.

seperate the yolk and egg white and voila you have your egg yolk.

Answer 6

No, just separate the yolk from the white and use just the yolk

Answer 7

no,just the raw yolk ..

Answer 8

No. You crack the uncooked egg in half making sure that the yolk remains intact. Move the yolk from one side of the shell to the other until all the white is drained off.
