Watch Eggs Fry in Molten Salt


hey guys it’s grad jump again to remind

you there’s still one week left to win

this galaxy s 9 plus smart phone it

could be yours there’s a link down in

the description to get your name on the

list to qualify

best of luck we’ll see you around hey

guys I am Nate we are at the dome once

again with another experiment using

molten salt we’re going to see what

happens if you combine molten salt with

eggs in a couple of different ways we’ll

see what happens if we pour a molten

salt on to an egg we’ll probably try

dropping a whole egg into our crucible

full of molten salt and then I think

we’ll try pouring some molten salt onto

our frying pan and then see if we can

fry an egg on that salt we have all of

our equipment and supplies and eggs

our salt is just about melted so let’s

put some eggs into our little pot here

I’m gonna try something a little odd I’m

gonna try having two cracked eggs and

two whole eggs and I’m just gonna pour

the salt on top and that way we’ll be

able to see the effect on both of those

at once

ready three two one whoo something

cracked immediately I’m not sure what

that was just right as I poured it into

the pot something made a cracking noise

and I assume that was something from the

moisture in the eggs themselves tell you

what that does not smell really great

that egg show is still in place this egg

shell is partially not in place exactly

cooked it’s still very hot so of course

things could still be cooking in there

uncooked inside there they try and dump

the whole thing out salt and eggs onto

our frying pan here that works pretty

good

so we’ve got all of our salt right here

we’ve got some I’m gonna say overcooked

egg thank you

this part it looks like we’ve got some

fairly nicely cooked egg mixed with raw

all right we’re gonna drop an egg into

the molten salt in the crucible and

quickly back away because I don’t know

what’s gonna happen three two one Wow

[Applause]

let’s do another one three two one

I guess I did cool down a little bit

oh that smells so bad who’s our egg

already partially cooked through the

first egg exploded violently the second

[Music]

so our egg shell kind of got coated in

some of the melted salt definitely stuck

to it a little bit it’s kind of gross so

this is the shell with the salt stuck to

it this is the actual egg which burned

in parts and is raw in parts you can

squish it it’s a step beyond eggs over

it easy right there so now I’ve got a

final batch of salt heating up in the

first I’m gonna pour that right on to

our frying pan and then I’m gonna try

and crack an egg onto that and see if I

can cook the egg get a nice fried egg

maybe even try and flip it over in the

that looks so pretty and glowing orange

liquid all right let’s let that salt

cool down just a bit because I’m not

trying to destroy these eggs

I do want a hot surface but I want to

actually cook them and possibly eat one

so I think as long as it’s still glowing

orange it’s probably too hot I’m going

to try cracking one right there

some get a good spot

well it is spilling off the side a

little bit but we’ve got some nice

cooked looking egg at the bottom I’m

just not sure if there will be enough

heat to cook all the way through for me

to try and really get this cooked I also

don’t know anything about the nonstick

properties of salt so this could be very

stuck or not at all stuck actually seems

to come off pretty easily moving itself

[Music]

I don’t know if that piece is hot so it

might not be doing anything to cook it

it might just be resting on it this is

definitely starting to get cooked

through let’s see if I can flip this egg

over I don’t think I’ll be able to

smoothly get under it so it’s gonna get

a little torn up as I try mmm my salt

might be cooling down a little too much

it’s just completely falling apart so I

don’t think I can really flip anything

that yolk isn’t even a little bit cooked

when this portion of the egg looks like

it has cooked not really a good-looking

cooked egg but it’s something

Haseley fried egg actually pretty good

[Music]

very salty I might have added too much

salt because it might have already been

salted in the test that said that I

I think it did I think it picked up some

of the salt using molten salt to cook

eggs in a few different varieties we

tried pouring molten salt into a pot

that had some cracked eggs and some

uncracked eggs in it something cracked

the moment I poured the salt into that

I’m not sure what that was maybe just

one of the shells breaking open maybe

that was some steam forming harder

littell I really liked the look of the

glowing orange molten salt surrounding

the eggs that was pretty pretty cool we

then tried dropping a whole egg into our

crucible full of molten salt and the

first one we did I dropped it in and

immediately it exploded and kind of like

flying out of the crucible that was also

really cool I dropped another egg into

there after the first one popped out it

didn’t pop it didn’t really crack much

but it did just sit in there and burn

quite a bit then I tried pouring out the

molten salt onto a frying pan and

cracking a couple of eggs on to the salt

after it had solidified to try and cook

the eggs right on the salt and overall

even this is best of the three methods

for using salt to cook an egg it’s

really not a good plan you don’t get

anywhere very useful if you’ve got any

ideas of things that you want to see us

do with molten salt let us know down in

the comments and if we use your idea we

will send you 25 bucks

hey what’s up guys is grant here with a

brand new Galaxy S 9 plus smartphone

that I’m giving away to one of you for

subscriber appreciation I’ve got a link
