Several Pioneer Press colleagues and I once tried frying an egg on asphalt in the parking lot of our office - ours evaporated. Yuck!

Now the more important question: how did it taste? Just kidding!

Let's try again without the frying pan on the sidewalk and then on the hood of a car. I feel like this can work!

May I recommend fresh dill with the pending fried egg?

I tried frying an egg in a pan on my driveway on Wednesday (outside temp: 100F, heat index temp 111F). Although the egg never truly cooked, the yellow started to congeal. I later read that the cooking surface (i.e. driveway) needs to be 158F to successfully cook an egg. Driveways may get hot baking in the sun, but they don't typically get that hot. It was a fun experiment, just the same.

Thanks for all the egg-frying suggestions! Maybe we'll try this again-with fresh dill- if the temp hits, say, 102.
