If I crack an egg on a fry pan, break the yoke and sprinkle cooking salt on the egg will the salt burn when I flip the egg to cook on the other side?

Short answer, no.

Sodium chloride only begins to melt at 1300F give or take a few degrees.

There's enough moisture in the environment to keep it way cooler than that anyway.

At any temp that could burn salt your egg would be having a seriously bad day.:lol:

Salt is basically a rock. Barring any special equipment, it's near impossible to burn a rock. Pepper is another matter...

If you've put a good, solid brulee torch to salt instead of sugar, you'll see salt burn :).
