It's hot. You're hungry. You've got nothing better to do. Why not fry an egg on the sidewalk!

To complete this How-To you will need:

Eggs
Aluminum foil
A mirror or magnifying glass
A very, very hot sidewalk
Butter or oil
Salt and pepper

Step 1: Lay out some tinfoil

The easiest—and most sanitary—way to fry an egg on the sidewalk is to use a piece of aluminum foil. Take a pan-size piece of foil and bend the edges up, so the raw egg doesn't slide onto the pavement.

Step 2: Crack the egg

Crack an egg or two onto the foil. The sun will reflect off the surface and cook your eggs.

Tip: If you intend to eat these eggs, you might want to use some butter or oil on the tinfoil so it doesn't stick—and season your eggs with some salt and pepper.

Step 3: Be ready to fib

The temperature of the sidewalk needs to reach at least 158° Fahrenheit to turn a raw egg solid. Sorry, a light colored sidewalk on it's own won't do the trick. You'll need to cheat just a little.

Step 4: Use a magnifying glass or mirror

To speed up the process, use a magnifying glass or mirror to focus the suns rays onto the foil. Now you're cooking!

Step 5: Brag a little

After your egg is cooked, tell everyone that it was so hot outside that you were able to fry an egg on the sidewalk. They'll either think you are most egg-zelent or just egg-zagerating.

[Blustsagush]

an even better natural ( and cleaner) way to cook on a hot day!You will need: a hot day, a cookie sheet, alumimnum foil, raw cookie dough, and a car. Step one : line the shetet with aluminum foil. Step 2: place cookie dough on the lined sheet. Step 3: set in car on dashboard. Step 4: go shopping or do whatever. Step 5: check cookies 1 hr later, check themm as usual to avoid salmonella poisoning.
