So it would have to be much hotter than it's been for you to see success. I noticed you cracked the egg on asphalt. A more reflective surface like sparkly concrete will theoretically cook an egg faster. but to be remotely successful, you'd have to -as we highschoolers did-- put the egg on shiny-side-up tinfoil (edges turned up) and wait and wait and wait. It was not impressive.
