Now you need to extract your egg white; you do this by dropping the yolk in between the cracked shell and allowing the white of the egg to drip down into a bowl below.

Place the lid on securely and pulse a few times. (Note: Your processor will not work if the lid or arrows are not lined up correctly on the top).
