Following on from my patio egg experiment. I have set up this thread ready for us all to take part in on 19th July.

Pick your surface and splat your egg between 10am - 6pm.

Let's do our egg science and save humanity.

I will be setting up my egg out front (as it is hotter than my back garden) on foil tomorrow.

Lets go! 😁😁

I’m so up for doing this on Tues. south facing garden and garden here. It always feels significantly hotter on the patio than elsewhere in the garden. Will have a think about how I’m going to do it

OH is from Arizona and we used to make cookies in the car when it was 40C. Baking sheet on the dashboard and cookies on that below the front windscreen.

If you bake the flour a bit so it's not raw you can eat the result even if its still very dough like - but we make pretty successful cookies quite a lot!

BluePinkRed · 18/07/2022 21:09

This was about 1hr into our 2014 attempt in 43C.

Oil spray I think is my in.get it out there as soon as possible.then as the title post says put the egg in at the said time of 10am.

WarriorN · 18/07/2022 21:32

Awesome, I'm sure my 4 yr old will be up for it!

Tumbleweed101 · 18/07/2022 21:47

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 21:48

Ha! We tried this a few years back, cracked an egg on the roof of the car. It set like cement and took ages to chip off.

This is what worries me TBH.

Zonder · 19/07/2022 07:38

Would an egg on foil on the car still cause any damage? Will DH notice if I try on his car?

I'm removing my egg from the fridge and I will leave it out at room temperature ready for today's experiment.

Urm….why are you keeping eggs in the fridge?

They are supposed to be kept in the cupboard

Our eggs are kept in the fridge in the little egg tray section in the door.

Enigma2000 · 19/07/2022 08:56

Soubriquet

You can do either. Some keep them in the fridge, others not.

I have been known to dabble with both depending on what space I have available where at what time.

Not going to lie - I think I'm more tempted by the cookie experiment than the egg now!

elephantoverthehill · 19/07/2022 09:38

The oil is in the pan that was put out last night on the paving slab.

Oooh @Blondeshavemorefun your egg in pan looks like it is cooking already!

They are supposed to be kept in the cupboard

They are supposed to be kept at an even temperature - and the easiest way to do that in a modern kitchen is in the fridge. They also keep for longer in the fridge.

KeyboardWarriorsUnite · 19/07/2022 10:12

I think we are supposed to get to 'only' 31° here, so I'll be watching but not joining in.
