Just tried to fry an egg outside ...

[dejr_8]

Didn't work.

I put a frying pan outside about 3 hours ago and just tried to fry an egg and it did NOTHING.

So it is not that hot.

I thought you had to do it directly on the road or on the hood of a car that has been sitting out in the sun.

You just need to get a cooking surface up to a temperature where protein will coagulate, about 108F.

That would definitely happen on my asphalt driveway right about now.

Come to my driveway! My soaking swimsuit dried in 12 minutes!

Come up to NJ...its a 106 degrees outside. That is pretty darn hot.

The last time I was in heat of this magnitude was 3 years ago in Memphis when they had that crazy heatwave the week we were there. It reached 113 degrees at one point!

 

[NatashaDisneyCM]

you need to do it on the ground, it is 107 here.

 

[Acklander]

Another one who thought you were supposed to do it directly on the ground, not in a pan

 

[heatherleigh]

Yes, you have to fry the egg directly on the sidewalk or ground. I was just talking to a friend about this the other day. I lived in AZ for several years, but never tried it.

I think if anyone fell over here right now, their skin would stick & fry on the pavement.

Ok you timed that? I mean 12 minutes!

You need a 2nd bathing suit so you don't have to wait for the first one to dry..

Or try skinny dipping!

We would always put it on the sewer lid.

I did this with my kids in early June when the temp was 103 degrees. We just put a frying pan on the inside dash of the car, let it sit in there to get hot, and then cracked an egg in the pan. It did work! I would not recommend doing this in a nice car though, because the hot pan did cause some minor discoloration on the dashboard. This was in a 14 year old car though, so I didn't really care.

What color was the pan?

In the past we did the driveway and also the hood of my red car. The car worked best. I don't think your supposed to use a pan, direct contact is needed.

Hmm. I wonder if it still would have worked with a potholder underneath.

i guess you could always put it on a piece of foil. Thin enough to transfer heat without making a mess.

it's not hot enough here in california. Stand under a tree and it feels like a cool spring morning. Even standing in the sun it's not that bad.
Coming from hot and humid florida to hot and dry dallas, now to cool and pleasant california.

I would think so, since the sun was beaming down on it. It was completely cooked. Fried on the bottom and rubbery on the top -- no liquid yolk or egg white at all, so it must have cooked on the top, too!
