frying an egg v2.0

I tried to get this post up yesterday but my computer and camera were having a spat. Anyway here is what happened when I had another try at frying an egg..
I got up at 8:30am to try and start cooking but the sun was not high enough in the sky and so was being blocked by some trees.
It was the same story at 9am. I thought about trying the solar oven out the front of the house but we have builders working at the moment and they are busy sawing things out there and I wouldn't want anything flying over and into the oven, which isnt completely sealed from dust.

10am - Finally enough sun streaming directly down to the ground so have set up the oven. There is no wind blowing today which is good. The air is cool but the sun is hot.

15 mins in - No progress on egg (as expected) but the pan is heating up :)

30 mins in - Still no change. I have repositioned the oven to catch more sun. It doesn't feel like the oven is emitting any heat but the pan still feels nice and warm.

45 mins in - YAY! The egg is turning solid white :D More so than yesterday so hopefully it continues! The sun is streaming down strongly.

1 hour in - The egg is cooking solidly. Hooray! Now the egg white is much more solid.

1 hour 15 mins in - Egg is doing well! White is almost completely solid & cooked.

1 1/2 hours in - No change.

1 hour 45 mins in - Little to no change. I have moved the oven to get some more sun.

2 hours 15 mins in - Egg is cooked!! I am going to leave it out there for a while longer while the sun is still hitting hard as I prefer my eggs well cooked. But it could be served "sunny side up" as is :D There seems to be a film on it though.. Not sure how that will affect the egg. I will have a closer look when I go to eat it later.
A little while later and I am excited to get the egg out. It looks totally cooked! Woohoo!


Now it's time to eat the egg..

looks appetising..

looking very skeptical about trying it

The plastic film was a bit weird but the egg was nicdly cooked. Tasted kind of odd but I usually eat my eggs with toast, bacon and tomato sauce. But the main thing is that it worked!
