At what temperature do the eggs boil?

They boil at 100 degrees.

Are these correct?

They're grammatically correct. People rarely heat eggs to their boiling point, but we cook them in boiling water. I hope nearly everyone who uses Celsius degrees knows that 100° is defined as the boiling point of water at sea level.

Water boils. Eggs do not boil; they become solid. The boiling point of a liquid is the point when it changes to steam/vapour. The contents of an egg does not change to vapour. Eggs get cooked below 100 degrees Centigrade.

When we prepare food in boiling water, we boil it. Eggs so prepared are boiled eggs.

Yes, we boil eggs, but eggs do not boil by itself, which is written in the OP.

The solidity of the egg depends on how long we boil them for.


We don't normally cook eggs. We boil/fry/poach/scramble/etc them.
At sea level, eggs are boiled at 100 degress Celsius.

I know that boil/fry/poach/scramble are the various ways of cooking eggs.
The point I was trying make is that water boils at 100 degrees and not eggs which boil at the temperature. Eggs do not need 100 degrees Celsius to get cooked; they could be cooked at a lower temperature.
