Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 23, 2012

Chef Red, you might as well forget the eggs…just fry up some bacon and pork sausages for Rover at your sidewalk cafe!

Good answer Rover – Good answer!

I smell BACON !!!

I use to live in Death Valley. Tourist would try to fry eggs on the sidewalks and parking lots all the time. What a mess!

Just give me the bacon.

Green eggs and ham, Sam I Am!

Someone has tested this – don’t remember the result. I do remember that it’s possible to bake bread or cookies inside your car though. (Although I’m not sure I want to eat them… :-P)

On a metal object (such as the outside of a car) it is quite possible. A sidewalk is a bit porous and doesn’t conduct heat that well, yet, it still has been filmed.

He means eggs not bacon.

The answer is ALWAYS ‘bacon’.

Every year in Yuma,AZ in August there is usually a contest

to fry a egg on a sidewalk..Air temp in shade 112*..

Air temp on sidewalk at 3:00 pm..168*..takes about 10 min..

Night-Gaunt: I have seen it hot enough to bubble! They use a lot more sand and gravel in asphalt than back in those days. When I was a kid, the bubbling was the test of when it wasn’t safe to walk on it barefooted.
