Omelette experiment

[Paz]

So, I read this idea in the boiled egg thread, and I’m going to see weather I can fry an omelette outside.
Experiment will start tomorrow at 06:00 Greenwich time.
I will place the eggs on a pan with a bit of olive oil, outside on the soil in my garden.
Wish me luck.

I had to place it on something eventually, because of grandpa’s Alzheimer’s. I will throw the eggs in at around 10:30.

Inside temperature is 30 Celsius.
Outside in the shade is 33 Celsius. So it’s pretty low. I don’t know the temperature of the pan however.

There's an solar egg frying contest every year in Oatman, AZ. Contestants have 15 minutes to get it done. How did the omelette go?

Looking forward to the update!

The omelette did not cook. Lol
I left it for 6 hours. But it only cooked on the very bottom. The egg was very hot to touch, but I guess not enough to be cooked.
The weather guy just likes to over exaggerate everything.

Darn! Thanks for sharing your experiment!

It has been up to 46 or 48°C in Southern Europe the past week. Wildfires raging in Greece.

I bet that would be enough to cook a pizza, let alone an omelette!
