Heatwave in France: Woman tests frying an egg outdoors, netizens shocked by dehydrated result

Extreme heat in Europe has led to unusual experiments, including one conducted by a Taiwanese resident in Paris who tested whether an egg could be fried outdoors under a record-breaking 44.3 degrees Celsius heatwave.

The egg white turned powdery, the yolk surface was wrinkled, and the inside was still a bit paste-like.

The netizen, identified as Ms. Liu, shared her findings after leaving a raw egg in a frying pan in her yard before work. Approximately 9.5 hours later, upon her return, she discovered the egg had 'cooked' in the sun. The egg white had turned powdery and dehydrated, while the yolk surface was wrinkled, leading her to humorously note that even birds might not eat it, joking, "maybe the egg is expired birds don't want to eat it?"

It's too exaggerated.

Ms. Liu later conducted a similar experiment with popcorn, leaving it in the same pan for nearly 12 hours. She found that some kernels had popped, and the yolk of a deliberately broken egg had stuck to the pan's bottom. She described the results as "too exaggerated" and noted the popcorn was still warm.

It's so hot, without air conditioning, you'll turn into jerky.

The experiments underscore the severity of the ongoing heatwave across Europe, with millions facing unprecedented high temperatures. Social media discussions highlighted the intensity, with one user commenting, "It's so hot, without air conditioning, you'll turn into jerky," and another observing, "It's dehydrated fried egg." Ms. Liu suggested that a camping pot might be the most effective for such 'cooking' in the heat.
