Good Luck.
Officials at Death Valley National Park have appealed to visitors to refrain from trying to fry eggs on rocks or ground. park has been inundated with visitors trying to test theory that it is hot enough to fry egg ever since park employee posted video on YouTube of her attempts to do so. online clip, together with soaring temperatures nearing 50°C and centennial on Wednesday of hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth, encouraged many people to try their own experiment, with messy results. Park cleaners are being kept busy cleaning up egg shells, discarded egg cartons, and foul-smelling goo from hundreds of unsuccessful attempts at sunny-side up under the sun.

Park rangers urged people on their Facebook page to not fry eggs. It read: " employee's posting of frying egg in pan in Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here, with recommendation that if you do this, use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose of contents. However, …maintenance crew has been busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across parking lot." It added: "Please put trash in garbage or recycle bins provided and don’t crack eggs on sidewalks." comment on park's YouTube page stated how hot it got in Saudi Arabia, joking that, "you can throw chicken in air and you will catch it cooked".
