Herald Busts Egg Myth
Rio Grande | 12 weeks 4 days ago | Comments 2
Eggs will not fry on a carhood.
RIO GRANDE – In the third day of a heatwave, the Herald team decided it was an opportune time to test the urban myth: " It's so hot you could fry an egg outside," but to no avail.
We tried it on a car hood; we tried it on blacktop. But fry an egg outside, we could not.
An egg must reach a temperature of 158 degrees in order to fry, according to the Fun Facts Website of the Library of Congress.
The automated National Weather Service's station in Fishing Creek read 94 degrees at 3 p.m. June 9.
