A yolk cup (17) is provided for use in an egg breaking apparatus. The yolk cup (17) is pivotable between a substantially horizontal position and an inclined position. In the horizontal position, the yolk cup (17) receives an egg content including a yolk and an albumen, the yolk cup (17) being provided with a discharge cutout (29) for selectively discharging the albumen while retaining the yolk when the yolk cup (17) is held in the horizontal position. The discharge cutout (29) comprises an upper yolk discharge portion (29a) extending up to an upper brim of the yolk cup (17) for discharging the yolk when the yolk cup (17) is pivoted to the inclined position, and a pair of lower albumen discharge portions (29b) continuous with the yolk discharge portion (29a) at both sides thereof. <IMAGE> |
