at what temperature does an egg cook
This question comes from the saying âItâs so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk!â How many kids, hearing it, actually try? Most likely they end up with a mess resembling scrambled eggs more than one sunny-side up. So whatâs the problem? An egg needs a temperature of 158Â°F to become firm. In order to cook, proteins in the egg must denature (modify), then coagulate, and that wonât happen until the temperature rises enough to start and maintain the process. The sidewalk presents several challenges to this.
