The claim. Pluck is "the yolk extractor you'll have to see to believe," says Quirky.com, where it's sold. "Simply place it over the yolk of an already cracked egg, squeeze the silicone chamber, and release to suck the egg yolk up into it." We paid $12.99 for the device, plus $7.50 for shipping.
The check. We broke eggs from medium to jumbo, then separated some by hand and others with Pluck. We also timed experts separating eggs both ways.
Bottom line. Pluck lays an egg. At best it saved our experts just a few seconds per half-dozen eggs; it sometimes sucked up a bit of egg white along with the yolk; and it was less effective than manual separation at removing the little cord, which is suggested for delicate dishes such as flan. You also have to wash the gadget afterward. Use the eggshell (a wonder of packaging) or use the Pluck technique to suck the yolk into an empty plastic bottle (just as effective and as entertaining for kids), and save yourself $20.
