  • Death Valley in the US is considered the hottest place on Earth and in the middle of a heatwave, temperatures are pushing 50C (120F).
    The BBC's David Shukman decided to test whether the heat was intense enough to fry an egg, by just placing the pan on the ground in the middle of the day.

    "Hot enough to fry an egg" - butter doesn't fully dissolve, egg doesn't sizzle or do anything when cracked into the pan, comes back later, egg still not cooked.

    Lol it takes skills to use sun heat to cook. 1st let the pan sit under the sun for couple hours. The butter will sizzle immediately and burn if you don't Crack the egg and place it on the pan immediately. Within a minute the egg is ready. Done it many times. Not in Death valley but many places in California where summer heat can exceed 115F. Lived in Fresno for 10 years. Part of summer fun was to cook eggs and thin slices of beef using sun heat and cast iron pans. You can actually burn your eggs and slices of ham if you leave the cast iron out there too long.
