Fry an egg on a car bonnet

[Sark79]

Is this actually possible in the UK?  or is it just a story that gets told.  I can't really remember the weather  ever being hot enough in this country to do this.   When I was on the train earlier, I saw some hens in an enclosure from the window while zooming past.  I began to consider the best way to cook an egg.

I did cook an egg by cracking it onto the road outside my house when I was a kid - it took about 10 minutes. It was a heatwave in Bermuda & I had to wear trainers for a few days because the road, sand & rocks were too hot to walk on. Normally I went about barefoot from May to September.

I think you would be a bit optimistic in Scotland.

Next time there is a hot sunny day (if ever) try it.  You will either finish up with a nice fried egg sandwich or people will think your a raving nutcase...... err what do you mean they do already

 

PS  Make sure you find a non-stick car.

I was up in Bonnybridge week before last and it was hot enough to fry a mixed grill on a car bonnet, then the UFO's came, sshh

Those damm UFO's. They mess everything up. One flew past my friend and I once when we were putting up a tent. Very very loud things they are. Fox Moulder never explained that about them.

i tried this at a mates house, he has a black metal balcony and one summer when it was scorching we chucked an egg on it and it cooked in no time, it was so hot the girls could make indentations in the concrete on the balcony floor with their heels.

fried egg and squished fly butty - can't wait!


Question:   Would it fry faster on a black car?

[Heid]

A silver car might make ti cook a bit faster as well

I used to heat up a pastie for my lunch by tying it to the exaust manifold of my truck

The reason this post amused me was the coincidental width of my internet browser. It was necessary for me to scroll down before reading the last word.

Prior to doing so, my imagination was running in overdrive.

you used to live in bermuda rod ?

you used to live in bermuda rod ?

I was born there, and lived there till I was 10. Went back for the first time in 25 years last year & remembered so much of it.

I lived in St Georges, next to what was the 2nd hole of the Holiday Inn's golf course & about 400 yards from Tobacco Bay.

St Georges is a bit run-down now, the Holiday Inn was badly designed (windows all caving in every Hurricane), so they only get tourist money when the docks at Hamilton are full & the overflow comes to St Georges - but that means it's like it was when I was a kid.    If I could get national status (no chance) I'd want to live in St Georges.
