To Boil It, Fry It
Dr. Penny cuick, a ’Varsity professor, whose favourite approach to. the layman is to startle him into attention and then pump in a few facts before the layman’s interest flags, says that the only way to boil an egg is to fry it. He says the albumen white and protein-and-fat yolk of an egg is in a solution of water. The egg solution has a higher boiling point than water and the only way to boil an egg is to heat it in something that has a higher boiling point than the egg solution —fat fills this requirement, hence to boil an egg, fry it.Another way to boil an egg, says Pennycuick, after sneaking in his facts, is to heat it over a flame until its solution boils.
