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! 😁😁

Are we ready to rock and roll?

Just to add, Cookies are also allowed. 😋😋

I'm about to place my eggs (going to have a go with the planned one out front on foil and one in a pan in the car. 😁😁

Post photos once you have placed your eggs or cookies. 😁

The one in the car will prob cook fast as trapped heat

Thesearmsofmine · 19/07/2022 10:15

Ok our egg is out in foil in the hottest corner of our garden(on a paving slab). Will take photos.

Enigma2000 · 19/07/2022 10:17

Mine are on.
I changed my mind and kept with my original plan. One on foil and one in a pan.
😁😁

I'm on.

I agree but I went with my original plan as i believe other posters have the car idea planned so it's not fair for me to jump in at the last minute.

Can somebody do the egg inside their car?

Might be useful for the 'I'm only going to be five minutes and I've left the window open a crack for the dog/kid/grandma' brigade.

Don't have a car and I'm not setting foot out the front storage heater/garden (block paving on 2m sand on concrete antiflood plinth facing ESE, so in full sun from dawn to 5pm) until it's a more respectable temperature out there some time in mid November if I have anything to do with it

Knowing MN it won't just stop with a cracked egg, will it. There will be car roof pavlovas here tomorrow, effortlessly decorated with foraged forest fruit and tears.

Proper snort at this!! Grin

I have no eggs and I’m not crisping myself going out to get some - would anyone be willing to try cracking an egg into a ziplock bag and seeing if it cooks outside? #outsourcing 😁

SoupDragon · 19/07/2022 10:37

Annoyingly I now have to be out in my car during prime cooking time! 🙁

CanuckBC · 19/07/2022 10:37

This is awesome! I am in Canada and it is miserable out right now. Matches me with my COVID so I am living vicariously through you😊

Moonflower12 · 19/07/2022 10:38

@anotherneutralname
I will. Will go out now to research the best place.

Enigma2000 · 19/07/2022 10:38

All done. That is my last zip lock bag so know you are loved. 😂😂

I did mess up the yolk though. 😬

Here it is.
On a pheasant feeder in full sun in Warwickshire.

My pans out on my shed roof (South facing, West mids, Wales border) I've pre oiled, think that could have been a mistake. Crack off time between 3.30pm and 4pm. Eggcited!

Bimblepops · 19/07/2022 10:52

Pan is out on the patio, starting to soak up some heat. Think I’ll add some oil around 1.30

@Enigma2000 @Moonflower12 I am overwhelmed! A long time since I’ve had a day this exciting.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2022 10:53

Thinking about it if I had left a pan out for hours till 2/3pm

the egg would cook quicker as pan is hot

Right, it's 29 degrees and my egg went out at eggzactly 11am. I used 2 squirts of oil on some foil inside an old glass ramekin. Shall see how we progress. Awful shame about your yolk in the Ziploc bag @Enigma2000

Has anyone tried anything other than foil/frying pan/Ziploc?

RicherThanYew · 19/07/2022 11:09

Please forgive the blue glove. Birds have been dropping them since Covid began.
