Has any of us used this method to separate eggs?

There is another method I use: Crack the egg(s) into a bowl . . .
and then pluck the yolks out from above with claw shaped fingers , using freshly washed hands of course.
My mom taught me the eggshell to eggshell method. After that I used to crack the egg open and then sieve the yolk away from the whites by my slotted fingers (pour the egg into my loose fingers; the white drains out, yolks remains) but then I saw the yolk pluck trick and have used nothing else since.
The bottle trick is a good one; I will have to demo that at a preserving/cooking class some time.

Seems like a good trick... until you break a yolk mixed with 6 other eggs.........

Or you could just pick it up with the egg shell
I can think of less than a handful of times I've dropped a yolk in with the white when just using the eggshell method. Then I just grab it back out with one of the shells - I do separate them over their own bowl though.

may be useful for the squeamish that don't want raw egg on their hands and don't have gloves
I use the hand as claw or drainer methods mentioned above if I need more than a couple.

Very interesting. Here's the guts of the email I received:
Keep in mind this treatment of burns is being included in teaching beginner
fireman. First Aid consists of first spraying cold water on the affected
area until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all
layers of the skin. Then, spread the egg whites onto the affected area.
One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of
the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg whites from
the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The
whites then dried and formed a protective layer.
She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued
during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By
afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a
trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had
regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to
the collagen in the egg whites, a placentafull of vitamins.
