Did you know that science has determined that the temperature required to cook the white of an egg is about 5 degrees lower than that required to cook the yolk. You can prove it for yourself by observing an egg frying. The yolk is always the last to harden.

I can’t quite remember the actual temperatures but it is somewhere around 65 degree C for the white and 70 degrees C for the yolk. What science didn’t determine was how long it would take for a medium sized egg and of course the egg had to be a room temperature before being boiled.
And whats this got to do with the price of eggs
