It's so hot you could (almost) fry an egg

It's hot. Really, really hot. The heat index today was around 112 (that's degrees!) I have been inside all week being grateful for my A/C. Today I got a little bored and decided to see if it was hot enough to fry an egg outside. Okay, so I was a little too bored and was also trying to avoid doing laundry.




I put a frying pan out on the patio for about an hour to heat up. Cracked an egg right into it and hmmm, no sizzle.

After about 20 minutes the egg was a little "cooked" around the edges, but basically just looked gross.

An hour later it still looked gross, and somewhat dried out. It never fully cooked.
A little disappointing. After my "egg"speriment was over I googled and found out that an egg has to reach 158 degrees in order to cook. I am very thankful that it's not hot enough to cook an egg outside.
