You know Sift Gema?

You know Sift Gema?

I see some people on TV and Internet sifting through the yolk (egg) in the wrong way.
To take the film (which has a strong smell) place the egg yolks in the sieve scrub with a spoon (in the sieve) and off the screen.
Rub into the screen you are pushing the gem down film.
If you rub the screen on the outside it is also putting the film in your recipe.
Sift to right Gema:
Place the egg yolks in the sieve stick each with the tip of a knife.
Hit the screen so that drain any gem.
If you have to sift through many gems split into parts with clean sieve, never in the same screen you just used. which runs the risk of bringing together the previous film.
The residue remaining on the sieve is coarse gem film, discard. (trash).

To recapitulate:
For saving people often scrape the screen inside and outside, to enjoy the last bit.
The last bit is a film that has a strong smell, disposal (garbage).
Note:
Speaking of eggs, never put egg whites or raw egg yolks in mousse dishes, chocolate and others.
Which runs the risk of Salmonella bacteria ..
Always use sterile eggs.
If you can substitute egg whites for colorless unflavored gelatin.
