“Right-o the ground’s 69 degrees, and the pans 62,” he begins in the Aussie-as-ever clip.

“Let’s see if we can cook an egg," the Dalby resident ponders.

He then cracks an egg into a seemingly hot pan and states, “Well give it 10 minutes and see what it does.”

Returning a short time later the would-be chef admits that, “it not cooked perfectly and I wouldn’t eat it but it’s hot enough to cook an egg in the sun.”
