Why is it that plastic bottle full of water does not melt under coal fire?
If the plastic can stand going up to 100 celsius without melting, the water will gradually heat up and the plastic bottle will remain at the water temperature. Eventually the water will start to boil at 100 celsius. If the bottle is closed it will explode under steam pressure. If the steam can escape, the bottle will stay at 100 celsius until the water has evaporated, then it will rapidly heat up and melt.

Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Then, dump the water and rinse with cold water. Alternatively, buy an egg timer--there is a nifty one that is red plastic that turns purple when the eggs are done.
