hell, ya can do that in half the states hereAn aluminum oven IMHO, does the job better than asphalt. Just make sure to take into account the time it takes to let the Sun heat it up.
They do not care if it was this warm in the past... the whole point is the drama queening.
I prefer my car roof. No bending!!
hell, ya can do that in half the states hereThis is what makes it nice for us “roadkill” crowd. You can take it home to the family already prepared and ready to eat.
Or use the natural method...dung...like they do in places like Afghanistan.
We did that 60 years ago growing up in India. Temps in my town reached 115 F in summer regularly. Nothing new here.
My parents used a common practice in India to hang curtains in a door made of some fine roots of a tree. Water was sprinkled on the curtains and the breeze coming in cooled the air. The roots had a pleasant fragrant smell to boot. Afternoons were for relaxing, playing cards and siesta time.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
... I remember when I was a wee kidling .... before Global Warming was so serious .... way back when Global Cooling and the coming Iceage was inevitable .... we used to fry eggs on the pavement in the summertime..... probably for the last time we feared ... because there would be no more summers left for us to do it. Many decades later people are still doing it. This time it’s as evidence to prove Global Warming.
Southern Paraguay’s climate is humid, with rainfall distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. In the east, near the Brazilian border, it averages an abundant 2000mm a year, declining to about 1500mm near Asunción. Since elevations do not exceed 600m, temperatures are almost uniformly hot in summer – the average high in December, January and February is 35°C (95°F), with daily temperatures ranging between 25°C and 43°C (77°F to 109°F). Winter temperatures are more variable and can reach freezing or hover at 6°C (42°F), though the average high in July, the coldest month, is 22°C (71°F).

Arizona has a dry climate, with little rainfall. Temperatures vary greatly from place to place, season to season, and day to night. Average daily temperatures at Yuma, in the southwestern desert range from 43° to 67°F (6° to 19°C) in January, and from 81° to 106°F (27° to 41°C) in July. At Flagstaff, in the interior uplands, average daily January temperatures range from 14° to 41°F (–10° to 5°C), and average daily July temperatures range from 50° to 81°F (10° to 27°C). The maximum recorded temperature was 128°F (53°C), registered at Lake Havasu City on 29 June 1994; the minimum, –40°F (–40°C), was set at Hawley Lake on 7 January 1971.
If geological records are correct, 10,000 years from now, it will be much colder there, more temperant. At 40 degrees north and south, those latitudes will be under a mile of ice, or more.
You have been able to do that here in Texas since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Back in the early 70’s a Bay Area news station fried an egg on the sidewalk during the hot summer, and I have seen it done many times since then when oohs and ahhs are better than uninteresting facts. This is all just political theater.
The central premise of global warming is that global temperature will increase as the concentration of CO2(ppm) in the atmosphere increases (increasing at an increasing rate as CO2 increases at an increasing rate.) The temperature measurements over the last 18 years do not support this hypothesis. How does cooking on asphalt?
The troops cooked eggs on their tanks in WWII.
That has more to do with the sun heating a dark surface than anything.
Call me when they can cook crispy bacon on a clothesline on a cloudy day.
Hmm...I’m wondering if those pans weren’t pre-heated by some other method before placing on the asphalt. I was watching that egg fry, and it appears there was enough heat to bring oil up to frying temp (see how it bubbles?) and fry the egg to perfection. I seriously doubt there was enough heat in that asphalt to heat up a metal pan and the oil (much less fry an egg to perfection) so quickly.
The sun is hot. Got it.
