You don't need water to boil an egg

hard boiled eggsThe best way to hard-boil and egg is to...remove the water?

British inventor Simon Rhymes has created a gadget that uses four 500-watt lightbulbs to cook the eggs, rather than boiling them in water (though we all know that we don't actually boil the eggs in water, right? We just let thim sit in hot water). Rhymes' gadget cooks eggs in six minutes, then automatically chops off the top to allow people to dip their toast in the egg.

So, this is different from say, sticking your eggs in high-heat oven...how?

I have one 250 watt photography light that melted the socket it was in in about 5 minutes. It's just a glorified Easy Bake oven. How necessary...
