came right out, tasted good, but before tasting I noticed that one side smelled like the beach while the other just smelled like, a regular egg
so I think to repeat this I'll wet use wet around the whole thing
it might even be beneficial to do this with a lid to sort of salt-steam them

it doesn't taste the same as if you were to do them in a hot brine, it's sort of weird, and my upper lip for some reason feels like it's on fire
probably nothing, but it might have caused a slightly caustic reaction possibly, I'm going to go rinse my face

I would do it for comparison but the only two real differences are the heat transfer rate, where salt is similar to doing a claybake, with sand being more of an insulator. see >>12781375

and yeah availability is a thing too, it was easier to get a box of the cheapest salt at a nearby grocer

hell I never checked but i might have been able to get ancient salt from the asian corner store for cheaper, like 99c when it was placed on the shelf 15 years ago
those people always keep the weirdest shit on shelves to make things seem stocked

it doesn't really hold it for long enough with salt but you'd get a similar result
what I did was closer to burying it on the edge of fire or under a fire opposed to putting out a fire and rolling it in the coals, both valid methods

since salt heats up faster than salt, it also loses heat faster
meanwhile sand, heats and cools slower than water does.
the reason it destroys your feet at the beach until you dip them further in the sand though has to do with how much air is inbetween the loose surface particles, same reason I had differences between the top and bottom of these eggs, top was loose, bottom was packed like a sand castle
