Fry an egg in Death Valley on a hot summer day

  • A common refrain in summer is, "It's so hot you could fry an ..." And while I know you need a metal pan to do this correctly (sorry, I just didn't have one with me) your local gas or electric company is still your best partner for a hot meal. This is just a tongue-in-cheek way to test if the extreme, nearly record-breaking heat at Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley on the last day of June 2013 is sufficient to fry an egg in a glass pan?

    It was hot enough 10 years ago. Today, it would probably burn the egg.

    Near Seville in Southern Spain they do cook the eggs, but in rocks that
    concentrate the heat. It's not as hot as Death Valley, but pretty hot.
    I liked your experiment. I learned something.

    The pan has to be either clay or metallic and it has to be covered; uncovering it causes cross heat dissipation; well done though!

    That's a glass skillet with oil in it. Put a copper pan out or a black stainless steel skillet. They conduct heat better.

      It would have been great to have had the right pan and not waisted our time trying to coax glass to behave like metal. Unfortunately, it's all we had. But thanks!

    Black skillet, let it sit out for a couple hours OK? No water, no oil - no liquids to cool the surface. No GLASS, wtf? Black iron. Try again.

    You did it wrong. Its hard in Death Valley to wait the amount of time needed but you have to let the pan sit out an hour or two. When you fry on the stove it needs preheating too, the pan is cool from your car.

  • @adfgfds
    @adfgfds Před 11 lety +4

    You have to use an iron skillet for it to work. And you have to leave the skillet out there for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Do this and you WILL cook an egg. Guaranteed.

    Glass is a poor heat conductor. If you had used a metal pan that had been preheated by the sun, it would have worked.

    I've used unconcentrated solar energy to heat the air in a black painted box with an acrylic cover to 100 C (which is certainly enough to cook an egg) in Buffalo NY in October. You just need a more absorptive surface.

      The fact is it’s impossible to fry an egg in the Death Valley. For that to happen the temp has to be 70c. I’ve been Death Valley few times and I’ve tried but to no avail. I’m from London
