EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use an egg separator to separate the egg white from the yolk. A separator consists of a small bowl-shaped center that holds the yolk with a surrounding space that allows the white to slip through into a bowl.

In most grocery stores, you'll find instant espresso coffee powder in the same aisle as the instant coffee.
