Good video on separating eggs
Could anyone point me to a good video on cracking an egg and then separating the white and the yolk? I need to improve my technique. For every few eggs that I crack I end up with little bits of egg shell in the white that I then have to pick out.

I find the site startcooking.com particularly useful for some quick videos that are narrated clearly, photographed neatly, and generally are better in quality than those found on Youtube.
Here is the video at that site: http://startcooking.com/video/295/Crack-and-Separate-an-Egg
That said, there are many such videos on Youtube that might be useful also:

How do you separate an egg video?
To begin, crack your eggs into a large bowl. This method works for any number of eggs; you're only limited by the size of your bowl. Next, use clean hands to "fish" the yolks out of the bowl, gently picking up each yolk from below while allowing the whites to drip back down through the slits in between your fingers.How do you separate an egg perfectly?

Answer 2
Just crack the egg and empty the contents into the slightly closed fingers of your hand. Spread the fingers a little over a bowl, to let the white run out, place the yoke in a separate bowl.
Answer 3
I accidentally found a slick way to separate the egg yolk from the white: before cracking, shake the egg like crazy. I expected the egg to to be scrambled after doing this, but when I cracked it open into the frying pan, the yolk was intact! The yolk just slipped away from the egg white, frying completely separately.

Check THIS one out! It went viral for good reason - I've tried it, it works just like in the video! She slightly squeezes a plastic water bottle and presses the opening against the top of the yolk, then releases the pressure on the bottle. The resulting vacuum sucks the clean yolk (no white at all) into the bottle. Another squeeze and the yolk is deposited in another bowl. She picks up and deposits the same yolk repeatedly. It's headshaking - Why didn't I think of that?! No more eggy fingers.
