Why Eggs Cook White Solid

Iris Fennimore

Watch a clear, slippery egg turn white and firm in the pan, and wonder what just happened? This story walks you through the tiny, bustling world inside that egg, where molecules dance, heat crashes the party, and proteins grab hold of each other in a wild, wiggly chain. Best for curious kids ages six to ten who keep asking "but why," read in Duncan Winslow's patient, wondering voice, like a friendly uncle kneeling down to show you something strange and true in your own kitchen.
