A mechanism for separating the yolk and albumen contents of eggs comprises a frame (27) mounting a yolk cup assembly (46) for receiving the yolk and albumen contents of a cracked egg and an albumen pan (73) positioned below the yolk cup assembly (46) for receiving the albumen egg contents therefrom. The yolk cup (46) assembly includes a funnel ring (47) with a downwardly-converging, tapered side wall and upper and lower openings. A retaining bowl (48) is mounted on the funnel ring side wall and forms a receptacle therewith. The retaining bowl (48) is partly spaced from the yolk cup assembly (46) side wall to provide an opening (67) therebetween through which albumen can flow into the albumen pan (73). |
